The Alabama map turtle (''Graptemys pulchra'') is a species of emydid turtle endemic to the southern United States. Differentiation from other turtle species includes a black stripe running down the center of its back with knobs extruding from it, but these projections wear down with age. T.H. Bean and L. Kumlen first collected the Alabama map turtle in July 1876 from a lake near Montgomery, Alabama. Type locality for this species is Montgomery County, Alabama. Baur described and named the Alabama map turtle in 1893. The genus ''Graptemys'' includes nine species of mainly aquatic turtles.〔Lovich, J.E. 1985. Graptemys pulchra Baur. Alabama map turtle. Catalogue of American Amphibians and Reptiles 360.1–360.2.〕 ==Geographic distribution== The Alabama map turtle has a unique location to its habitat in the Southeast. It is endemic to the Mobile Bay drainage basin and inhabits the lotic (flowing water) areas of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and possibly Louisiana. It ranges from the Pearl River in Mississippi and Louisiana eastward to the Yellow River in Florida and Alabama.〔
