Geography curriculum -- K-12 materials

 

The Alaska in Maps website is under repair.  We hope to have it restored soon.

 

Curriculum materials developed in part by the Institute of the North includes Alaska - A Land in Motion and Alaska in Maps – A Thematic Atlas (in print and on CD-ROM).

 

Alaska in Maps is a thematic atlas of Alaska. In contrast to a topographic-type of atlas that emphasizes contour lines and selected settlement features, a thematic map offers maps of special topics. Examples of thematic maps found in Alaska in Maps include earthquakes, volcanoes and Native language regions.


Alaska in Maps was primarily designed for Alaska middle and high school students. However, it is also a useful atlas for anyone wanting to know about the geography of Alaska. [Download the Quick Start guide to Alaska in Maps (PDF format).]
