This Alaska county map shows the states 16 boroughs and 11 census zones. For the sake of continuity we listed this as a county map, but unlike other states, Alaska is divided into boroughs and census zones. The boroughs encompass the larger areas of Alaska, and act similarly to counties. As the name implies, the census zones are used only for statistical purposes and don’t govern themselves. Listed below are the details with population, housing units, and the area of each Borough and Census Area in Alaska.
