Explore Alburtis, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Alburtis, 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 Alburtis.
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.

Alburtis occupies a quiet expanse of land where the flat plains give way to the subtle, earth-toned elevations that define the rural character of southeastern Pennsylvania. It lies 5.9 miles west-southwest of Emmaus, PA (from Emmaus, PA: bearing 251°T), and is situated 9.0 miles southwest of Allentown. Swabia Creek cuts a modest, winding path through the local soil, its presence barely audible against the steady hum of a region that keeps its own steady time. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, devoid of any salt or moisture that might drift from a distant coast, carrying instead the dry, fertile scent of fields preparing for the harvest. Residents find space for recreation at Playground Adventures, an open area that serves as a communal anchor amidst the surrounding farmland. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape remains open and expansive, with the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally marking the horizon on the clearest of days.
Alburtis grew from the iron-rich foundations of the nineteenth century, when the extraction of ore and the arrival of the railroad dictated the pace of daily life. The economy has long since shifted from those heavy, earth-bound industries, yet the architecture remains rooted in the sturdy, utilitarian brick and frame styles that reflect a pragmatic Pennsylvania heritage. Life in Alburtis maintains a deliberate, unadorned quality, moving with the seasonal cycles that govern the surrounding agricultural tracts. While The Cove sits five miles away as a reminder of the region’s geological complexity, the people here focus on the immediate tasks of the day, from the maintenance of local infrastructure to the quiet activities that define a small-scale, inland existence. Even when residents seek out the water of Fogelsville Pond for a brief respite, they return to the familiar, grounded streets that have defined the identity of Alburtis for generations.

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.
