Map of Florida county boundaries and county seats

Maps of Florida are a vital part of ancestral and family history research, notably in the event that you live far away from where your ancestor resided.

Because Florida’s political boundaries have often changed over the years, historic maps can be significant when it comes to helping you find out the precise location of your ancestor’s home, what land they owned, just who his or her neighbors had been, and a lot more besides.

Maps of Florida are an excellent tool for starting out with your own research because they provide you with useful information and facts immediately and present them in a clear and easily understood format.

Florida’s 10 largest cities are Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Hialeah, Tallahassee, Fort Lauderdale, Port Saint Lucie, and Pembroke Pines.
