Explore Alba, Texas, 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 Alba, Texas. 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 Texas 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 emerges from the quiet, verdant folds of East Texas, defined by the persistent, winding path of Dale Creek as it carves through the local clay. It lies 24.0 miles south of Sulphur Springs, TX (from Sulphur Springs, TX: bearing 185°T), and is situated 9.3 miles north-northeast of Grand Saline. The terrain here favors a modest, undulating rhythm, where stands of timber break the open stretches and the air carries a heavy, humid sweetness that clings to the skin at dusk. Only two miles distant, the still, reflective surface of Case Lake offers a reprieve from the heat, its banks buffered by the dense, tangled undergrowth that characterizes this inland landscape. Toward the horizon, the land levels out toward the distant basin of Overcup Flat, while the light at sunset turns the soil a deep, bruised shade of copper, illuminating the quiet industry of a place rooted firmly in its own geography.
Agriculture and the slow, steady pulse of local commerce have long dictated the pace of life in Alba, drawing its character from the cycles of the earth rather than the frantic demands of the city. Though the Sabine River Authority W.C. Swearingen Recreation Area lies eight miles away, providing a sanctuary for those seeking the stillness of the woods, the daily life here remains tethered to the crossroads and the fields. Generations have cultivated these patches, leaving behind a subtle, weathered history that lingers in the architecture of older buildings and the quiet pride of the residents. It is a place where the passage of time is marked not by grand events, but by the subtle shifts in the crop rows and the way the afternoon shadows lengthen over the dusty tracks, maintaining a stoic, unadorned resilience that defines the identity of Alba.

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.
