Atlin District

The term "Atlin District" was also used synonymously with the official administrative area named the Atlin Mining District, established during the gold-mining heyday contemporaneous with the Klondike Gold Rush.

The region also includes adjoining Teslin and Tagish Lakes and the Bennett Lake area in the narrow strip of BC separating the Alaska Panhandle from the Yukon.

The Atlin Mining District, also known as the Atlin District, was described as: The Atlin District proper embraces the Atlin and Bennett Lake Mining Divisions; these take up the Eastern and Western halves of the District, respectively, and they extend from the Dalton Trail on the West to the watershed between Surprise and Glady Lakes on the East.

The North boundary is the Sixtieth Parallel of Latitude; on the south is United States territory.
