This is an authentic antique map of Alaska showing county seats, county boundaries, cities, towns, settlements, U.S. land offices, national forests, Indian reserves, military reserves, and reindeer preserves. There are inset maps of Nome, Juneau, and Sitka, as well as "Continuation of Aleutian Islands."

The Canadian side, although not in colors, is very detailed along the border with Alaska, including the Klondike Region of the Yukon territory.

This is pre-Territory Alaska, known then as a "District." It is in brilliant colors, very large (3 feet across) and eminently suitable for framing and display. You will be pleased to have it in your collection.
