Satellites are roaming the atmosphere, seeking out interesting sites. Actually, Microsoft's Terraserver contains 3.3 tera-bytes of high resolution USGS aerial imagery and USGS topographic maps. Basically, you can get an up close and personal aerial view of just about anywhere in the United States.

Here is our home town of Edmond, OK.

It's a great deal of fun to find your own location. Simply search for your hometown.

They also have a page of famous places, including Central Park, Fenway Park, Hoover Dam, and The White House.
