I came across this site while doing some research. It is a site sponsored by Microsoft that uses USGS imagery. You can get color or greyscale aerial photos, or topographic maps of any location in the US. All you need is an approximate address. Great way to follow railroad tracks or see your neighborhood or your house. Unfortunately the images only go down to one-meter resolution, and most are about three or four years old. But still rather interesting.

Neat site, you can get some good looks at the Race Tracks down there in the states.
