For a second I thought these were places to escape the country from … you know, for reasons.
People have certainly left the country at some of these sites. But they are (almost) always brought back so it isn’t a great escape route.

Closer to the equator means less fuel to orbit because the Earth spins fastest at the equator so you don’t have to add as much delta-v.
The Alaska one I’d bet is for military ops or maybe polar satellite installations.
