Maps and atlases are used to locate the places where your ancestors lived. They identify political boundaries, names of places, geographical features, cemeteries, churches, and migration routes. Historical maps often show communities that no longer exist.
The Tennessee State Department of Archives and Libraries has the largest collection of Tennessee maps. They are accessible through a card file in the Manuscript Reading Room. The Department of Transportation in Nashville also has a large collection of maps and atlases for the state. Maps and atlases for Tennessee at the Family History Library include the following:
