San Bernardino County is the largest county in the contiguous USA at approx 22,000 square miles. It's bigger then some of the Northeastern states. There are some counties in Alaska that are huge, but Alaska is a country all to itself.

What is the largest geographical area in the US?

The single largest county in area in the US is San Bernardino County, California. For the top 100 counties in area, see the link below. Note that Alaska does not have "counties", but has "boroughs", which are the equivalent of counties. Five of these boroughs are larger in area than San Bernardino County. However, one of them, the "Unorganized Borough", as its name implies, has no government. Nor is it contiguous - it is simply composed of all of the areas of Alaska that are not included in formally organized boroughs. But, in any event, there are at least 4 boroughs in Alaska that, except in name, fit the definition usually applied to counties, and are larger than any "counties" in the US. The largest of these is the North Slope Borough, at over 4 times the area of San Bernardino County). In addition, there are 7 other Alaska boroughs that would make the top 100 list. These boroughs and their respective areas can be seen in the second link below.
