How to Use This Albany, Ohio Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Albany, Ohio. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Ohio or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Albany.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Albany, Ohio
Albany is a locality in Athens County, Ohio, United States. It is a small community with a population of 917. The population density is 265.8 people per km². Albany is located at 39.2276°N, 82.2024°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Albany is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 45710.Albany occupies a quiet fold of the Appalachian foothills where the morning light catches the mist rising off Leading Creek. It lies 8.9 miles southwest of Athens, OH (from Athens, OH: bearing 218°T), and is situated 19.1 miles east-northeast of Wellston. Beyond the immediate basin, the terrain lifts toward the distant, silhouetted spine of Chestnut Ridge, creating a landscape defined by the slow, persistent friction of water against earth. Only a mile away, the surface of Lake Snowden holds a stillness that mirrors the surrounding canopy, while the nearby expanse of Shade River State Forest offers a dense, tangled sanctuary of oak and hickory. Here, the air carries a distinct, sharp clarity, especially as the sun retreats behind the uneven horizon, casting long, thin shadows that stretch across the fields and into the depths of Ross Hollow.
Albany emerged from the aspirations of early settlers who recognized the potential in the fertile, sheltered soil of the region. The rhythm of life here remains tied to the land and the modest commerce that supports the local population, far removed from the frantic pace of the industrial corridors to the north. Visitors often seek out the rugged paths of King Hollow Trail to traverse the terrain, or they find themselves drawn to the outer reaches of Zaleski State Forest, where the remnants of historical mining operations remind one of the labor that once powered these hills. Today, the economy functions with a quiet, steady persistence, maintaining a character that values the preservation of its natural surroundings as much as the quiet industry of its residents.

About This Albany Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Albany, Ohio. Coordinates: 39.227574, -82.20237. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Albany includes the ZIP code (45710), telephone area code (937), county seat of Athens County (Athens), and school district assignment (Alexander Local School District).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
