Mapping Alabama
Alabama extends from the Tennessee Valley in the north, through the Birmingham area and Montgomery, to Mobile Bay on the Gulf Coast. These are useful reference points for a statewide map: the distances and shape of a northern sales patch can be quite different from a coastal service area.
Use the three-digit PDF to introduce the wider area and its road connections. For separate delivery zones around Birmingham, coverage near Huntsville or a coastal territory around Mobile, the five-digit map lets you colour the individual ZIP areas you need. A territory can cross county boundaries; it is your grouping, not an official administrative area.

Alabama ZIP map questions
Is the free Alabama ZIP code map 3-digit or 5-digit?
The free PDF and the map preview show three-digit ZIP prefixes, main roads and place names. A prefix groups codes by their first three digits. To colour individual five-digit ZIP areas, open the separate Alabama map in our online colouring tool.
Can I try the five-digit map before buying?
Yes. Load the map and try colouring areas, adding a key and changing the labels before buying access. Saving and downloading your finished map require the relevant map access. The free three-digit PDF download on this page is separate and does not require colouring-tool access.
Can I edit the map artwork?
The free PDF is a vector map for a clear view at different sizes. For supplied editable artwork and other formats, follow the editable-artwork section on this page. Check the available files and licence before buying; map files are separate from access to the online colouring tool.
Can I combine Alabama with other states?
Yes. Open the state chooser and select up to three states that form a connected group. Each state must connect to the group, but does not have to touch every other selected state. Load and customise the combined map before buying. You can buy the selected states together, one state or access to all 50. Alaska may be added separately within the same three-state limit.
How should I prepare ZIP codes in a spreadsheet?
Keep the ZIP column as text with all five characters. Some US ZIP codes start with zero: for example, 02108 must not become 2108. Keeping the column as text prevents a spreadsheet from removing a leading zero before you import your codes into the colouring tool.
Are ZIP areas the same as counties or town boundaries?
No. ZIP codes are used for mail delivery; counties and municipalities are different geographies. Our colouring-tool dataset contains 588 mapped ZIP areas for Alabama. That is a count of areas in this map, not a total of every USPS delivery code, PO Box or unique organisation code.
