Alaska Maps & Atlases

About 125 quad maps with elevation contours show roads, railroads, major power lines, woodlands, lakes, quarries, campgrounds, parks and reserves, and much more. The quads are referenced with GPS grids. There is also an attractive fold-out physical relief map of the entire state, and another map showing the major routes through western Canada to reach Alaska from the lower 48 states. Charts give information on national and state lands, fishing, hunting, float trips, boat ramps, wildlife viewing, and campgrounds. Other pages in the Gazetteer unique natural features, hiking, wildlife refuges, mountain ranges, and historic sites and museums. There is also a 11-page comprehensive index which helps you locate the place names in the atlas.
To top it all off, there are nearly complete street maps of Anchorage, Juneau, and Fairbanks (omitting only the outlying streets). These street maps each have separate comprehensive indices.

Imus Geographics Alaska, U.S.A., Topographic Travel and Reference Map
New intricately detailed travel and reference map printed on one side only. Shaded relief shows the form of the mountains, while color tints give you an idea of relative elevation. Shows paved highways, gravel highways, and dirt roads; distances between selected points on paved highways are indicated in miles. Also shows ferry routes, railroads, the Iditarod Trail, and the Trans-Alaska pipeline, as well as airports and seaplane bases. Boundaries of National Parks, Preserves, Monuments, Wildlife Refuges, Conservation Areas, and Forests are marked, plus also Military and Indian Reservations, State Parks and State Forests, Wilderness Areas, and Alaskan Boroughs. Other features marked include campgrounds, ski areas, visitor centers, lighthouses, and more.
This map shows more physical place names (mountains, rivers, bays) than typical road maps, and because of that is rather more cluttered, with the type for most names rather small. The only other feature of this map that I can quibble with is that while it distinguishes elevation levels with color tints, the cartographer has neglected to inform us what elevation ranges each color tint represents.
While most state highway maps index cities and towns, this one also indexes physical features—and as near as I can figure, doing random spot checks, seems to cover all of the place names in the index. Because of the small print and less-than-optimum scale, I don't recommend this map as the only highway map you take, but it is an invaluable supplement and would serve as a key desk reference to the state's geography.
Scale, 1:3,000,000 (1 inch = about 47 miles). Size: about 56 x 28½ inches. Folded. Paper.

MapArt Alaska Yukon NWT road mapDetailed road map printed on two sides shows eastern Alaska (that portion accessible by highway from Canada), and adjacent Yukon and Northwest Territories in Canada. On one side is the main map, which ranges from Gates of the Arctic National Park and Prudhoe Bay in the upper left corner, east to Great Slave Lake (shown in an inset in the upper right corner), and as far south as Glacier Bay and northern British Columbia. By choosing to include only those portions of Alaska which can be reached directly by road, the publisher is able to show the area at a larger and more detailed scale than most other Alaska road maps we sell. Shaded relief is artfully employed to reveal the form of the mountains. Point-to-point distances along Canadian highways are indicated in kilometers, along US highways in miles. Elevations of important summits are indicated in feet when in the US and meters when in Canada (or on the border). Also shows parks (with and without camping), other camping areas, points of interest, information centers, ski areas, ferry routes, railways, time zone boundaries, and much more. A small inset map shows the main roads of the entire region, including those few in far western Alaska.
On the reverse side are nine inset maps. One of these is a southern extension of the main map, showing the panhandle of Alaska at an even larger scale. The others are all street maps of Alaskan and Canadian cities. Anchorage is actually covered in two insets: the large shows about half of the city in detail, the smaller shows just the main roads, but of the entire city. Most of Fairbanks, Alaska is also shown in street-by-street detail. The gold rush towns of Dawson, Yukon Territory, and Skagway, Alaska are each shown in very great detail, with historical buildings, museums, and inns individually labeled. The towns of Whitehorse and Yellowknife are both covered in nearly complete street maps as well. The last of the insets is a small area detail of Juneau and Mendenhall Valley, Alaska.As you can see in the image, this map has two covers: one side emphasizes Alaska, the other side emphasizes Yukon and the Northwest Territories (NWT).
Scale of main map, 1:2,000,000 (1 inch = about 31.6 miles); scale of Alaska panhandle inset, 1:1,600,000 (1 inch = about 25.3 miles); scale of main street maps: 1:25,000 (1 inch = about 0.4 mile). Size: about 39½ x 27 inches. Folded. Paper.
