How about using the Layout and then inserting your main map on the layout page and including two smaller maps (Alaska and Hawaii) as inserts on the layout?

When I see similar maps those states are often included near the tip of California. What I'm masking is Canada and Mexico. Perhaps there is an easier way of creating this. I've been using the Quick Start, choosing "Map your own data", choosing my spreadsheet, and mapping by state. I then choose "Show State boundaries with your data attached" along with a color theme and the map that's created includes Canada and Mexico, which I don't want when it comes time to insert into my document. I can also get Alaska mapped this way but it comes with Canada in between. Unfortunately, this is one of the problems of being a one-person non-profit with no funding for additional training. It means figuring it out by trial-and-error!

You can simply zoom to the area you want to save as an image and choose File-Save As. Otherwise, could you describe what you are trying to "hide" via the mask?
