[Dxbase] Cannot find DXBase2005 Countys

[Gary Senesac AL9A]

There are no counties in AK!  Up here we have Boroughs, which are somewhat
analogous to counties, but not all areas of the state have incorporated as a
Borough - no local government, no local taxes!  To make up for this the
county hunters use the four AK Judicial Districts which do cover all of the
state's territory.  If you do a Google search on "ak judicial districts" the
first hit will take you to a site that has a pdf map of the judicial
districts and the geographic area included in each one.  Hope this helps.
