Dominion Creek

Dominion Creek is a stream located in the Klondike region of Yukon, Canada, known for its historical significance during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 19th century. Prospectors flocked to this area seeking gold, leading to a booming population and the establishment of mining camps. The creek itself was extensively mined using hydraulic methods, which involve directing high-pressure water to wash away soil and reveal gold deposits. Today, Dominion Creek serves as a reminder of this pivotal period in Canadian history and is part of the Klondike Gold Fields, attracting visitors interested in heritage and mining history.
