I found a free service on the net that will let you look at photos taken from both sat and airplane of just about ever sq inch in the U.S. Copy and paste the following...

http://terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com

when you get to the general area you are looking for, use the large view buttons and the zoom in and zoom out buttons. Find your house and zoom in, you can see something as small as a person from 30,000 ft away. Good way to check out things before you drive 4 hours to some place that a friend of a friend said was a great place to go...just trying to help, have fun.

I use the areal photos for making maps for my friends. I draw in and label the trails and highlights of the area. Works great! You can get USGS topo maps in terraserver as well.
