I consider myself a "map person" who feels that every historical study has a map of one type or another connected to it that helps complete the story; particularly when it comes to doing genealogical research.

I research mostly Ohio and in particular where some of my earliest ancestors settled when first arriving in Ohio which was in the V.M.D. - The Virginia Military District. It is one of the oldest districts in Ohio and understanding it can take a bit of study.
To help understand the V.M.D. a great resource comes from the Ohio History Connection's website and their Ohio maps.
"Land Records at the Archives & Library of the Ohio History Connection" - with a subheading of "Researching the Virginia Military District"
Enjoy your time exploring this Ohio land area so many early pioneers called home by utilizing these unique maps!
