How to Use This Alba, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Alba, Pennsylvania. 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 Pennsylvania 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 Alba.

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.

Alba occupies a quiet stretch of the Allegheny Plateau where the land rises and falls in long, muscular swells of earth. It lies 33.3 miles north-northeast of Williamsport, PA (from Williamsport, PA: bearing 16°T), and is situated 14.7 miles east-southeast of Mansfield. Alba Creek slices through the landscape here, its waters carving a shallow, persistent path that sustains the local flora and keeps the soil dark and damp. To the west, the terrain drops into the quietude of McIntosh Hollow, while the horizon is defined by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. During the golden hour, the light catches the tall grasses in Alba Community Park, casting long, lean shadows that stretch across the open fields and emphasize the stillness of the afternoon.

History in Alba remains anchored to the rhythms of agriculture and the slow, steady persistence of local labor. While the bustle of the industrial northeast seems a world away, the influence of the region’s resource-heavy past lingers in the practical architecture and the hardy character of the people who maintain these homesteads. Commerce has long relied on the bounty of the land, with small-scale farming and timber providing the quiet foundation for a life lived away from the frantic pace of larger hubs. Residents find their recreation in the nearby reaches of Loyalsock State Forest or by making the short journey to observe the seasonal changes at Mud Pond. Even when the weather turns, the memory of the water rushing over the stones at Fallbrook Falls provides a constant, refreshing reminder of the natural vitality that defines the surrounding countryside.

About This Alba Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Alba, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.705075, -76.828291. 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 Alba includes the ZIP code (16947, 16910, 17724), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Bradford County (Towanda), and school district assignment (Troy Area 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.
