Geography of Alabama Alabama is located in the southeast region of the United States and covers an area of approximately 52,420 square miles, making it the 30th largest state.

Alabama lost at the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year and the Legislature was forced to redraw the way it carves up the state into seven congressional districts.

Lawyers for the state defended Alabama’s new congressional map before a panel of judges who previously ruled the 2021 map violated the Voting Rights Act.
