Which parts of Canada and the United States does the Yukon River flow through?

The Yukon River flows through the central region of the Yukon territory in northwestern Canada and the central region of the U.S. state of Alaska.1

Its headwaters originate near the border of British Columbia and the Yukon territory. From there, the river travels northwestward through the Yukon territory, passing through areas such as Whitehorse and Dawson, before crossing the international border into Alaska. Once in Alaska, the river flows generally westward and then southwestward across a low plateau, eventually discharging into the Bering Sea at Norton Sound.21
