The Milepost

The Milepost

"The MILEPOST" is an extensive guide book covering Alaska, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and British Columbia. It was first published in 1949 as a guide about traveling along the Alaska Highway. [http://morris.com/divisions/mcc_magazines/the_milepost.shtml "The MILEPOST"] from the website of Morris Communications] It has since expanded to cover all major highways in the northwest corner of North America, including the Alaska Marine Highway. It is updated annually.

"The MILEPOST" is packaged and distributed like a book (2007 edition: ISBN 1892154218), but like Yellow Pages includes paid advertising. [ [http://www.themilepost.com/media_kit/testimonials.shtml Testimonials from Advertisers] from "The MILEPOST" website]
