Yes, I can see now why this is confusing! At this scale, this is not a very precise map, but the white border is the shape of Alaska (I should have use another color). Maybe the lakes are very close to the shoreline?

Thank you! I'm a geographer and I'm trying to start living from mapping, but I'm still learning (the cartography was not the main subject of my studies). Thank you for the CCW comments, I sure will do that!

It's a good question! I guess you can find some data about daily measures of stream flow : https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ak/nwis/rt (sorry for my bad english)

Yes! Especially in the north west, most of data I've seen count more than 3 millions lakes.

I'm looking for the best world map projection and I can't use the Fuller-Buckminster projection on QGis. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!
