The 'tricky' part about this map is that I'm annotating 
lat/long points on the map, and Alaska is not in its usual
"convenient viewing" location, rather than its proper geographical
lat/long position. Therefore I have to create the continental US 
map and Alaska map, and then scale and translate Alaska (and its
annotated markers) into the position I want it.

I also annotate some summary statistics in big text near the 
bottom of the map - annotating is much more flexible than using
'note' statements.

And, to make the map visually 'pop' I annotate a drop-shadow 
behind the map.
