You can see that if you think of the rest of Alaska as a pan and the long and narrow Southeast Alaska region as the handle. It runs 500 miles along the northern Inside Passage. This waterway snakes through a maze of islands offshore from the mainland of Southeast Alaska

Southcentral Alaska Region 2—Southcentral Alaska is bounded by the Gulf of Alaska to the South and the Alaska Range to the north. The Chugach Mountains mark the eastern border. The Aleutian Range forms the western border

Interior Alaska Region 3—Interior Alaska is the land between the Brooks Range to the north and the Alaska Range to the South. From the border with Canada, this huge region stretches west about two-thirds across the state

Southwestern Alaska Region 4—Southwestern Alaska includes the Alaska Peninsula, Kodiak, the Aleutian Islands and the Pribilof Islands

Western Alaska Region 5—Western Alaska extends from the Arctic Circle south to Bristol Bay. The Bering Sea forms the western border
