Regions

Northwest & Arctic Region map Northwest & Arctic Region The Northwest & Arctic of Alaska is one of Alaska’s most diverse regions ranging from coastal plains to mountain ranges; the land is vast, but the population small at just over 10,000 residents.
map of interior region Interior Region Alaska’s second largest city, Fairbanks, is located in the heart of the state.
map of the southwest Alaskan region Southwest Region Stretching over 1,000 miles into the Pacific Ocean, the southwest region offers volcanic islands, mountains, countless lakes, and is a birder's paradise. Off the road system, part of the thrill of the adventure is getting to your destination, whether it be by air or sea.
map of southcentral region Southcentral Region The southcentral region of Alaska is home to over half the state’s population with the majority of that half residing in Anchorage.
map of southeast region Southeast Region Known more commonly as the Inside Passage to cruise ship passengers, the southeast region is home to Alaska’s capital, Juneau. If you are making your voyage via cruise ship, Alaska’s “first city,” Ketchikan will most likely be your first port.
