Dalton Post or '''Shäwshe''' is a former [[trading post]] and [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] community on the [[Tatshenshini River]]. It was on the [[Dalton Trail]] near the [[Haines Highway]]. Today, it is a prime [[Oncorhynchus|Pacific salmon]] fishing spot and serves as a base for [[Rafting|whitewater rafting]] expeditions on the Tatshenshini and [[Alsek River]]s in the [[Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park]].

==== Jakes Corner ====

Jakes Corner is a spot on the road, at historical mile 866 of the [[Alaska Highway]], at the junction with connections to the [[Tagish Road]] and the [[Atlin Road]]. There are a small number of area residents, the junction being best known for a gas station and café. The gas station has numerous examples of old machinery.

==== Klukshu ====

Klukshu's more recent history is as a seasonal aboriginal fishing community, benefitting from a large [[Chinook salmon]] run. Located near the Haines Highway, it has no permanent population. Interpretive information is provided by the [[Champagne and Aishihik First Nations]].

==== Little Salmon ====

Little Salmon is located on the [[Robert Campbell Highway]] between [[Faro, Yukon|Faro]] and [[Carmacks, Yukon|Carmacks]], and stretches along the lake of the same name and the [[Yukon River]]. The only non-residential establishment is the Yukon government highway maintenance camp at [[Drury Creek]]. It was formerly an important settlement of the [[Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation]].

==== Silver City ====

Silver City, a historic mining town, is today only the residence of a small number of people, one household being a [[bed and breakfast]] establishment. It is located at historical mile 1053 of the Alaska Highway.  It contains an airport, [[Silver City Airport]].

==== Sulphur ====

Sulphur or '''Sulphur Creek''' was a mining camp south-east of Dawson on a creek of the same name that flows into the [[Indian River (Yukon)|Indian River]].
