Snag, Yukon
Snag is a village located on a small, dry-weather sideroad off the Alaska Highway east of Beaver Creek, Yukon, Canada. The village of Snag is located in a bowl-shaped valley of the White River and its tributaries, including Snag Creek. It was first settled during the Klondike Gold Rush. An aboriginal village was also located about away. It was the site of a military airfield, established as part of the Northwest Staging Route, which closed in 1968. In 1947, the village of Snag boasted a population of 8 to 10 First Nation people and fur traders. An additional staff of 15 to 20 airport personnel — meteorologists, radio operators, aircraft maintenance men — lived at the airport barracks.
