It depends on the map. If it's showing strictly British Columbia or Canada, it lops everything that isn't Canada/BC off, same as the maps of the US that show ONLY the US, and just the line of the borders, no Canada or Mexico.
If it IS showing other territories, then the borders are drawn in on land for Alaska and the Panhandle (which is sometimes greyed out), same as with the main border with the States (also greyed out, if the map is focusing on Canada alone), and then some kind of demarcation (usually a dotted line, but sometimes simply the grey fill again on the non-Canadian bits) continues out into the Pacific to international waters, to show where the border is there. Everything on the southern side is Canadian; everything north of that line is US territory.
Alaskan maps may do things differently, but all the maps I've ever seen, as a resident of BC, either on paper or electronic, do it one of these two ways.
This map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bcmap.PNG and this map: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/BC-relief.png/200px-BC-relief.png are the standard lopping-everything-else-off style.
This map: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Skeena_Watershed.png/288px-Skeena_Watershed.png is an example of the other sort, defining the non-Canadian land and islands with a different colour (greyed out, here).
Hope that helps! :-)
