Where is the Klondike?

Klondike (Eng. Klondike) is a region in the west of the Yukon territory in northwestern Canada. He is known for the Klondike Gold Rush, which spanned the period from 1987 to 1988. Gold was first found on the stream of Bonanza Creek, flowing into the Klondike river.

The region has no delineated boundaries. It extends along the Klondike River, which flows from east to west and flows into the Yukon River. Its mouth is located near the town of Dawson (English Dowson City), at its eastern part. The city was a haven of gold diggers (in 1897-1899 there were 40 thousand people here, and already in 1902 - only 5 thousand).

The Bonanza Creek Creek is also located near Dawson, on the other side of the river.

Along the Klondike is a highway of the same name (English Klondike Highway) leading to Dawson from the city of Skagway, which was founded as the starting point of the road to the Klondike through the White Pass.

So where is the Klondike? It is located along the river of the same name in the west of the Yukon territory. About this region, as well as the impact of fever on the modern world, is described in more detail in the article What is Klondike.
