Alaska is not organized into counties. It is divided into boroughs and census areas. The largest borough is the North Slope Borough (in northern Alaska and includes the city of Barrow) which covers a total area of about 88,000 square miles and sports a total population of about 7,500. The largest census area is the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area (in central Alaska and includes the area surrounding Fairbanks) which covers a total area of about 146,000 square miles and is home for about 6,500 people. Neither of these are the most populous areas, however. The City/Borough of Anchorage has about 260,000 people. The Fairbanks/North Star Borough has about 83,000. The Mat-Su Borough (which includes the cities of Palmer and Wasilla) has about 59,000.

Barrow is located on the "North Slope" of Alaska. It's in the northern most part of the state on barren tundra land. It is also located by many large oil fields and that is probably what it is most well-known for. It is near the Arctic Ocean as well. And it is also the traditional land of many Alaskan Eskimos.

The borough has a total area of 94,763 square miles (245,436 km²), of which, 88,817 square miles (230,035 km²) of it is land and 5,946 square miles (15,399 km²) of it (6.27%) is water. Its western coastline is along the Chukchi Sea, while its eastern shores (beyond Point Barrow) are on the Beaufort Sea. The North Slope Borough is the largest county-level political subdivision in the United States by area, with a larger land area than that of the state of Utah. Although the adjacent Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area is larger in area, it has no borough-level government. The borough is also the third-least densely populated county-level entity in the United States (after the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and the Lake and Peninsula Borough).
