Alabama Maps are a very helpful tool for ancestral and family history research, especially in the event that you live far away from where your ancestor was residing.

Due to the fact that Alabama’s geographical features and political boundaries have frequently changed over the years, historic maps are important when it comes to helping you discover the exact location of your ancestor’s hometown, what land they owned and their property boundaries, exactly who his or her neighbors happen to be, and much more besides.

Alabama Maps are an excellent resource for starting out with your own research because they provide reliable information and facts quickly and present them in a clear and easily understandable format.

Alabama’s 10 largest cities are Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Hoover, Dothan, Decatur, Auburn, and Gadsden.
