Topographical maps show physical features, such as creeks and hills, and man-made features, such as roads, cemeteries, and churches. Plat and land ownership maps and other types of maps are described in [[United States Maps]].

-*The spelling and even names of some towns may have changed since your ancestor lived there.<br>
-*Boundaries changed over time. Use historical maps to understand boundary changes.<br>
