Alaska

It depends on the map. If it's showing strictly British Columbia or Canada, it lops everything that isn't Canada/BC off, same as the maps of the US that show ONLY the US, and just the line of the borders, no Canada or Mexico.

If it IS showing other territories, then the borders are drawn in on land for Alaska and the Panhandle (which is sometimes greyed out), same as with the main border with the States (also greyed out, if the map is focusing on Canada alone), and then some kind of demarcation (usually a dotted line, but sometimes simply the grey fill again on the non-Canadian bits) continues out into the Pacific to international waters, to show where the border is there. Everything on the southern side is Canadian; everything north of that line is US territory.

Alaskan maps may do things differently, but all the maps I've ever seen, as a resident of BC, either on paper or electronic, do it one of these two ways.

This map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bcmap.PNG and this map: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/BC-relief.png/200px-BC-relief.png are the standard lopping-everything-else-off style.

This map: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Skeena_Watershed.png/288px-Skeena_Watershed.png is an example of the other sort, defining the non-Canadian land and islands with a different colour (greyed out, here).

Hope that helps! :-)

When it was first purchased, Alaska had the nickname Seward's Icebox.

In 1867 Alaska was bought from Russia for $7.2 million dollars.

Most could not believe that Alaska could ever be inhabited and had no known value or strategic purpose.

Abysmal.

There are eights, seven form the Big Dipper and a larger star in the upper right hand corner representing the State.

I'm not sure if it's the same story or not, but I remember seeing an article in a magazine about 10-12 years ago, in a doctors office, it was a magazine like People or Macleans. It had a picture of him in a sleeping bag, and from what I can remember it looked like skin pulled tight over bones, and he had a can of something in his hand with a spoon sitting in it, it was very sobering. I am surprised that nobody has posted them. I also remember reading that he wasnt far from a ranger station but didnt know it. Maybe that is common knowledge, I havent read the book. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chriso2000/ ^This website here has pictures from his time in the wild and also from his early childhood and teen years.

Denali.

National parks are meant to conserve the land and its cultural, historic, and natural features. Ideally, the land is left unchanged as much as possible while allowing people to use it for recreation. Your question is vague, but I am inclined to say it is neither constructive or destructive; certainly preserving land is not destructive.

Well, The U.S. purchased Alaska during the time of imperialism and Alaska was in a different country and had a different was of like. But the U.S. imperialism Alaska By bringing the U.S. cullture and way of life there.

If it had never produced an ounce of gold or a barrell of oil it would still have been a bargain. Its value during the Cold War was immense. Its purchase cleared Russian claims in the Oregon Territory and the Seafood it produces continues to be a world food source.

What group of people do anthropologists believe the most of alaska's native people are descended from?

It takes approximately 3-4 hours from Anchorage to LA then a further 12 hours to Auckland.

No, Russia's claim was unchallenged. Only the location of how far east the border should be drawn was questioned.

The city of Valdez in Alaska stores oil from the Alaska Pipeline while it waits to be shipped to the lower 48 states or to other destinations.

She was a civil rights activist.

It is 1,942 miles according to Google Maps.

Neither, it had not been purchased from the Russian Empire yet. The purchase of Alaska from Russia occurred in 1867, two years after the end of the Civil War.

Alaska is not a country. It is a state in the US. Alaska's 2005 gross state product was $39.9 billion. The per capita GSP in 2005 was $60,079, third in the nation.

The answer is dependent upon the timeframe of the question. Before the United States purchased Alaska from Russia, Canada would have had every opportunity to negotiate with Russia regarding the purchase of Alaska, as did the United States. So, Canada simply COULD HAVE purchased Alaska as the United States did. Why Canada didn't express interest is totally speculative. One has to wonder what strategic advantage to the country that Alaska would have offered, except to extend its western shores further north. Canada is already vast and sparsely populated with an incredible abundance of natural resources. Unclear what value Alaska would have had to Canada. After the United States purchased Alaska, it would have been contrary to almost all U.S. practices to sell Alaska to Canada - the United States has never sold a territory it owns to another country. Instead, the United States has returned territory it claimed/acquired back to countries that could claim rights to the territory from earlier times. Even if the United States was open to selling Alaska to Canada, it was not long after its purchase of Alaska that the United States began understanding the value of Alaska, with its timber, mineral, fishing, fur and oil/gas resources. Undoubtedly the cost to Canada to purchase Alaska would have been significant - far greater than the cost to the United States. One has to wonder, again, what value Alaska brings to Canada, especially if Alaska would sell at a much inflated price.[actually ,no they could not have.canada had no money.
