| Image explanation | LMU #2 is a diverse unit. Pictured is the confluence of Bluefish and Porcupine rivers. Second Mountain, part of the Old Crow Range, can be seen in the background. |
| Land Status | VGFN Settlement Land (VG R-11A and several S-sites) and Yukon public land. |
| Biophysical Setting | |
| Setting | Diverse unit includes rolling hills, low mountains, and extensive pediments. |
| Ecoregions | Old Crow Basin, Old Crow Flats, Davidson Mountains, and North Ogilvie Mountains. |
| Bioclimate Zones | Taiga Wooded, Taiga Shrub, and Alpine. |
| Habitat Types | Low–mid elevation coniferous forest, shrub and wet herb; high elevation sparsely vegetated, herb, shrub and rock; significant wetland (LMU #2C) and riparian (Porcupine). |
| Watersheds | Porcupine River (Bluefish and Old Crow rivers, and Caribou Bar, David Lord, and Big Joe creeks). |
| Ecological Resources | |
| Significant Wildlife and Fish Habitats | |
| Porcupine Caribou | Caribou concentrated use during fall and spring migration periods. |
| Moose | Significant habitats in all seasons with spring/summer period of special importance. |
| Marten | Low – moderate quality winter habitat. |
| Sheep | No sheep populations. |
| Fish | Identified and potential over-wintering habitat in Porcupine and lower Bluefish rivers, David Lord Creek, and many lakes. |
| Other Species | High densities of waterbirds stage on this stretch of the Porcupine River. |
| Wetlands and Lakes | Entire unit is a significant wetland habitat. Central Bluefish wetland complex similar to Old Crow Flats. Cadzow wetlands contain a diversity of wetland types. |
| Riparian Areas | Porcupine and Bluefish rivers and David Lord Creek. Numerous tributaries within wetland complexes. |
| Major River Corridors | Porcupine River. |
| Heritage, Social and Cultural Resources | |
| VGFN Heritage Routes and Sites | Many routes and sites (see Map 2, Appendix 1). |
| Other Heritage and Historic Resources | Several documented heritage and archaeological sites. |
| Current Community Use Areas | Entire wetland complex used for subsistence harvesting and travel. |
| Economic Development | |
| Transportation and Access | Old Crow winter road. |
| Traditional Economy | All seasons and activities, including forest harvesting. LMU #2 receives the highest level of community use in the North Yukon Planning Region. |
| Tourism and Recreation | High values and interests; low activity levels. Old Crow – Porcupine River is the most important resource. |
| Oil and Gas Resources | Moderate potential; margin of Old Crow oil and gas basin. |
| Mineral Resources | Moderate – high potential. |
| Aggregate (Gravel) Resources | No identified resources; river gravels offer potential sources. |
| Forest Resources | Lower David Lord Creek contains large riparian spruce forests, an important fuel-wood and building material resource for Old Crow. |
| Special Management Considerations | |
