Chugach and Copper River Census Areas

Chugach and Copper River Census Areas
January 01, 2026 02:06AM
I'm working on updating a challenge checker, and I'm running into a problem with the Chugach Census Area and the Copper River Census Area in Alaska. Both are recently created and serve as "county equivalents" in Alaska.

I want to display their outlines on the map produced by the checker, but I can't find the ID numbers for those areas that are expected by the map API. The checker I am updating contains the IDs for all the other boroughs and census areas in Alaska.

So if anyone could fill me in or point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!

Using the id of the region sounds odd and potentially like you're using uploaded dataset (and thus trying to use something that doesn't exists), can you link the checker you're modifying so I can see what it is you're trying to do?

The script I am modifying reads in a blob of data via PGC.GetJsonData("USA-ContiguousCounties-MaxB") that I originally thought contained the map IDs that I mentioned. However, I subsequently realized that those IDs are being pulled in via a call to PGC.GetCountyPolygonInfoFromCountry, which solved my problem.

Thanks for the quick reply.
