This map, based on where they were in the 1820s, shows the traditional territorial homelands of the indigenous peoples of what is now Alabama. The Creeks controlled the vast majority of land in the state, with the Cherokees in what is now the northern section, the Chickasaws in the northwest corner, and the Choctaws in the southwest corner.
