| === Finding the Specific Town on the Map ===
| |
| | |
| To successfully research maps from Croatia, you must identify the town where your ancestor lived. Because there are several towns that have the same name, you may need some additional information before you can locate the correct town on a map. Using gazetteers can help you to identify a place's the jurisdiction and help you locate it on a map. See the '''[[Croatia Gazetteers]]''' article for more information.

| == Types of Maps ==
| |
| | |
| Different types of maps help you in different ways, for example:
| |
| | |
| *Historical atlases describe the growth and development of countries, showing boundaries, migration routes, settlement patterns, military campaigns, and other historical information.<br>
| |
| *Road atlases are useful because of the detail they provide. <br>
| |
| *Other types of maps include: parish maps, state maps, tourist maps, topographical maps, and air navigation maps. City maps are extremely helpful when researching in large cities.<br>
