How can one get this texture or background on google maps?

Please take a look at this implementation of http://map.embed.ly/ [googl开发者_Python百科e maps][1] . Would like to know how it can be achieved ? I have seen only satellite, hybrid implementation this seems new to me

It looks like a well done custom overlay on top of Google Maps API (v3).

The GMAP API website has an example that shows the code as well as the output. Good luck!

What you're looking at doing is implementing the Google Maps API. It provides methods for placing custom overlays and data sets into a Google Maps interface:
