Alaskan Bush
Alaskan Bush is an informal name for all parts of the US state of Alaska that are not connected to the North American road network or can be reached by the State's Ferry System . Geographically, the Alaskan Bush extends across Alaska North Slope , Northwest Arctic Borough , Baldwin Peninsula and Seward Peninsula , the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta , Southwest Alaska, Bristol Bay , Alaska Peninsula and parts of the Alaska Panhandle and the Interior .
The largest settlements in this region include Bethel , Dillingham , King Salmon , Nome , Barrow , Katmai National Park , Kodiak Island , Kotzebue and Dutch Harbor .
