Alaska topographic maps

These topographic index maps for Alaska state are provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for map sheet identification. To locate the USGS topo quad in Alaska that you are trying to find, look at the index map of the appropriate map scale.

1:63,360 scale Alaska topo quads

The index map below is for Alaska topo quads at 1:63,360 scale. It is zoomable, and you can find the name of the 1:63,360 scale quadrant (sometimes abbreviated as "63k") written horizontally across rectangular boxes that define the borders of the individual 63k map sheets. The names such as "Petersburg" actually label the 250k map sheets, whereas the smaller quadrangles containing labels such as "C-1" are the sub-names for the 63k map. Thus, a 63k map sheet might be identified as "Petersburg C-1".

Alaska is an exception in the USGS topo series in that it is covered by 63k maps instead of the usual 24k. 100k map sheets are also unavailable for Alaska.
