United States Maps

US Maps are an invaluable part of family history research, especially if you live far from where your ancestor lived. Because United States political boundaries often changed, historic maps are critical in helping you discover the precise location of your ancestor’s hometown, what land they owned, who their neighbors were, and more.

Antique Atlases & Maps of the United States

These are scanned from the original copies so you can see U.S. and States as our ancestors saw them over a hundred years ago. Some US map years (not all) have cities, railroads, P.O. locations, township outlines and other features useful to the avid genealogist in Alabama.
