Carcross

Settlement in southwestern Yukon Territory, Canada, on the Klondike Highway at the northern end of Bennett Lake, 65 km/40 mi south-southeast of Whitehorse; population (1991) 183. Carcross has been a mining community since the Klondike gold rush (1897–1900s).

The name is an abbreviation of ‘caribou crossing’. During the Klondike gold rush the White Pass and Yukon Railway made this a stop, and has supplied subsequent mining operations in the area.
