Trace your family's migration journey across America.
Bring your family history to life with USA migration map templates. Chart immigration routes, pin birthplaces, and highlight the towns and states your ancestors called home — all rendered in a clean, high-resolution map format designed to sit across a two-page spread in your genealogy book.
✔ To use these templates, you will need a free or paid Canva account. From Canva, create your pages, save your finished files, and then upload them to the publisher of your choice or print them at home.
✔ The templates are fully editable. You can change the fonts, colors, point sizes, edit travel routes, add/remove photos, and rearrange layouts to match your personal preferences. Map colors are not editable.
✔ Your USA maps are designed to sit across a 2-page spread in your genealogy book and work with multiple book sizes, book bindings, and color preferences:
2 book binding types (perfect bound, layflat bound)
3 book sizes (8.5x11", 12x12", A4)
6 layouts (individual, couple, family options)
17 map colors (neutrals & pastels)
✔ Color-code each branch of your family with a different color map. Your purchase also includes maps of Hawaii and Alaska!
✔ Built to be easy to use. You won't need design training — the templates do all the hard work for you. Drag and drop photos into placeholders.
✔ Original, human-illustrated clip art included free. PNGs are 300 DPI (high-resolution quality).
