Taylor, covering all 48 states plus the territories in fifty-eight full-color illustrated sheets. This sheet appears on page 11 of the atlas, printed in bright lithographed color and filled with small hand-drawn scenes rather than any conventional survey detail, a style meant to entertain a Depression-era audience as much as inform it.

Mount McKinley, now known as Denali, and the Yukon River both anchor the map's interior, while polar bears, moose, and glaciers fill in the territory's northern and coastal reaches. Together the gold-rush reference, the river, and the wildlife sketch a territory still defined in the popular imagination by wilderness and distance rather than by any established state identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA family with Alaskan roots reaching back to the territorial or gold-rush era will recognize the map's romantic take on the region immediately, and it makes a distinctive gift for anyone drawn to Depression-era pictorial maps rather than conventional antique surveys.

Unlike a conventional wall map, this sheet was a genuine piece of flying equipment, its margins filled with sketches of historic Alaskan aircraft, and its reverse carries a seasonal survival equipment list, mountain flying rules, and diagrams of more than three dozen airstrips, a level of practical detail no library catalog anywhere else records for this title. It covers the whole of Alaska's route network, and it was published just a year after the discovery of oil at Prudhoe Bay, at a moment when small aircraft remained, as they always had been, the only practical way to reach most of the state's interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe map's borders carry illustrated tributes to pioneering Alaskan aviators, including the Lockheed Vega flown by Wilkins and Eielson on the first trans-polar flight in 1928, the Fairchild associated with \"Glacier Pilot\" Bob Reeves, and the de Havilland credited to Ben Eielson's first Alaska airmail flight in 1924. A Piper Super Cub and a Standard biplane nicknamed \"Jenny\" mark Fairbanks's earliest flights and Noel Wien's 1925 crossing of the Arctic Circle to land on Alaska's north side.

The sheet's most telling feature is cartographic honesty rather than embellishment: it uses plain outline color rather than the full color of Rand McNally's other state maps, and a wide stretch of territory south of the great Yukon River is labeled outright as \"unexplored,\" a rare admission of the limits of contemporary knowledge.

Political boundaries mark the border with British possessions to the east, and both Greenwich and Washington are given as prime meridians, a dual convention typical of American commercial atlases.

Clement Co. in Buffalo, New York, and published in 1943 in The New Matthews-Northrup Global Atlas of the World at War, an atlas built around invasion routes tracing the Second World War. Despite that wartime backdrop, the Alaska page was rendered as a standard reference map, titled simply \"ALASKA\" in a decorative box, with a mileage scale and a legend distinguishing capitals from other settlements by type size, much as a peacetime state map would appear. It covers the Alaska Territory from the Bering Strait and an inset of the Aleutian Islands down to the Yukon and British Columbia border, printed the same year Japanese forces were being pushed from the Aleutians and the Alaska Highway was being built to link the territory to the rest of North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuneau, the territorial capital, is marked among the map's labeled capitals, its type sized to stand apart from ordinary towns per the legend. Fairbanks appears in the interior, a hub tied to the overland routes then being pushed north. Anchorage is shown along the southern coast, already emerging as a key military and transportation center. The Bering Strait separates Alaska from Siberia at the map's northwest edge, while an inset extends coverage to the Aleutian Islands strung out into the Pacific. The territory's boundary with the Yukon and British Columbia runs along the eastern edge, anchoring Alaska within its Canadian context.
