This is a historic panoramic photo of Dawson City at its zenith, probably about 1912. To the right is the conflence of the Klondike River. Just across the river was Klondike City, a small "town" which served as the railroad yard for the KMR. Nothing remains there to indicate there ever was a railroad save a few pieces of iron if one knows where to look. |

On the top left is The Dome--a very prominent backdrop for historic Dawson City. The view is looking east. Click for a much larger image. |
| I took this picture with my Polaroid from on top of the Dome. You are looking up the Yukon River with a view of a part of Dawson City as it was in 1978-79. Across the Yukon River is the Top of the World Highway winding its way to the top of the hills. |
