That's the map (posted by RBH quite some time ago). Hoover runs well in the redneck hill country of the north (Smith's Catholicism and "wetness" killed him there) and some industrializing cities, while getting swamped in the Black Belt.

I believe that a well-respected Democratic Senator from Alabama (whose name escapes me) broke ranks and endorsed Hoover, attacking Smith's religion. He campaigned heavily for the GOP, but couldn't quite swing the state.
