Maps are an extremely important component of genealogical research.
Unfortunately, many people ignore this basic research tool. A map is a graphical representation, usually on a flat surface and drawn to scale, of all or a portion of some physical area. Depending on the reason for the map's creation, different features are depicted. A road map, for instance, contains highways, roads, cities, towns, state parks, and other points of interest. A military map usually contains detailed representations of the topographic features of terrain over which personnel might need to travel.
