I did Alaska as part of my first 50 State mapset last spring/summer.  Made it in overlay mode with a uniform CI of 40 feet (probably not to helpful in the Bethel area).  Census had not positionally realigned the transportation data.  Hydro was USGS NHD (from the 1:63,360s).  Quad/tile size was 1x1 degree.  The Anchorage area map on this site is from that mapset.  I hope to do a map using current data (in normal mode), however that would likelyy be weeks to months off.  If you provide some bounding lat-long coordinates and can use MapSetTookKit to install the files to MapSource, I could package the appropriate files an upload them here.

I can get the Lat/Long no problem but not sure about the tool MapSetToolKit?  Is this a tool hosted at this site or somewhere else?  Thanks for your support. ><
