Cities of Alaska
Alaska lies in the far northwest of North America, separated from the rest of the United States by Canada. It is by far the largest state in the country, full of huge mountains, glaciers and tundra. The capital is Juneau, which you can only reach by boat or plane. In this map you fly across Alaska and learn to place its towns in the right spot.
You will find real places like Anchorage, Fairbanks, Sitka and the northern town of Utqiagvik. The most famous feature is Denali, the highest mountain in all of North America, towering over the Alaska Range. Great rivers like the Yukon and the Kuskokwim cross the wilderness, and far to the north runs the Brooks Range.
