Explore Albany, Wisconsin, 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 Albany, Wisconsin. 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 Wisconsin 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.

Albany occupies a quiet stretch of the Sugar River valley, where the land yields to a steady, rhythmic pattern of low ridges and fertile soil. It lies 11.0 miles east-northeast of Green, WI (from Green, WI: bearing 60°T), and is situated 8.6 miles southwest of Evansville. The topography here avoids the dramatic upheaval of the distant Big Hill Savanna, favoring instead a gentle, unglaciated character that defines the horizon with soft, muted contours. Sunlight in the late afternoon settles heavily upon the water, turning the Sugar River into a ribbon of tarnished silver that winds through the periphery of the village. The Sugar River State Trail provides a quiet corridor for those traveling on foot or bicycle, tracing the old rail lines that once carried the weight of local commerce through the fields. While Decatur Lake lies only three miles away, the immediate sensation of the landscape is one of terrestrial stillness, where the air smells faintly of damp earth and the deep, silent growth of the surrounding valley.
Albany reflects a history shaped by the pragmatic labor of early settlers who recognized the agricultural potential of these alluvial plains. The local economy continues to draw its strength from the surrounding dairy country, maintaining a steady, modest pace that resists the frantic acceleration of larger, more urban centers. Life in Albany is marked by the small, persistent traditions of the region, where the arrival of evening is often signaled by the flicker of lights in local kitchens and the quiet hum of a community rooted in its own customs. Though the distant slopes of the Big Hill Savanna remain visible on the clearest days, the focus here remains fixed on the practicalities of the season—the harvest, the changing light, and the slow, deliberate turn of the year. It is a place that values the weight of its own geography, holding fast to the quiet resilience of the inland landscape.

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.
