Good catch David.

– I fixed the large map to split Skagway from Hoonah-Angoon Census Area.
– In the smaller administrative map, I’ve fixed Skagway to show “City and Borough”
– It took me awhile to understand what you meant about the missing labels. But I can see you are referring to the mini administrative maps again. I’ve added the labels in there too.

Thanks again. I very much appreciate the feedback.

It claims to have been updated in August 2020, but it is out of date in several ways. The map shows “Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon Census Area”. That is ancient history; in 2007 Skagway was broken out of this group, leaving just the Hoonah-Angoon Census area (correct in your text, wrong on your map). Then, the text claims that Skagway is just a municipality. Wrong again: It is now a “City and Borough”, similar to Sitka, which your text classifies correctly.

Anchorage is also a City and Borough, although you don’t label it that way. And for some reason, you didn’t label either Ketchikan Gateway Borough or the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area at all on your “sub-maps”.

I think someone should spend a bit of time on the phone with folks in Juneau and clarify all this. Consistency, folks! :)
