because alaska is also part of north america, the term "continental united states" also includes that state, so the term is qualified with the explicit inclusion of alaska to resolve any ambiguity. on may 14, 1959, the united states board on geographic names issued the following definitions based partially on the reference in the alaska omnibus bill, which defined the continental united states as "the 49 states on the north american continent and the district of columbia..." the board reaffirmed these definitions on may 13, 1999. however, even before alaska became a state, it was properly included within the continental u.s. due to being an incorporated territory.
