This site was mainly constructed for Genealogy / Family History research, but could be used for basic US history also. It contains maps with narratives of US border and land transfers from 1783 to present, indicating land acquisitions to US territories thru Statehood, with summaries by individual State.

Included on each State page are Genealogy / Family History related links for the State. An additional link goes to a map with the States County borders with names. Also provided is a cross reference of County names to the States they're located in.
