Aerial-photographic images showing where I live

Here are some aerial photos of my space in the universe that I down-loaded some time ago (before the terraserver link went south):

Medium-size image with my house (more or less) in the center. (Original image as received from USGS -- 24KB)

Large overview image with my house somewhat above and to the right of center. (Original image as received from USGS -- 46KB)

Medium-size image with my house (more or less) in the center. (Image brightened somewhat for better visibility -- 54KB)

Large overview image with my house somewhat above and to the right of center. (Image brightened somewhat for better visibility -- 104KB)

Here's what the web site (http://local.live.com/) is calling a "Bird's eye" view of my neighborhood. Because of the angle chosen (by local.live.com) for the bird's eye view, north is not straight up. The road running (roughly) east west across the bottom of the image is Church Street. The first one above it is Dunkin Road (my road). The bare brown rectangle described below is the one on the north side of Dunkin. My home is immediately to the right (east) of a bare brown rectangle, the field next door. My driveway (slightly curved) runs from Dunkin Road to my garage, attached to the west side of my house. To the east of my house, are two houses (on separate lots) and some outbuildings; their respecive driveways form a "V" with the point of the "V" at their entrance off of Dunkin Road.

Images compliments of the US Geological Survey (Sorry, the pages at USGS seem to have gone away.) via Microsoft's terraserver web site.

And here is a link to one of USGS's pages that have links to other sites that may be worth checking out:

View USGS Maps and Aerial Photo Images Online (This link is also broken. I'll try to track down where the pages have been moved as time permits.)

I did a quick check and so far as I can see, only TopoZone allows viewing of maps of arbitrarily selected locations. The others offer samples but don't allow you to view either maps or aerial/satellite photos of any selected area as far as I could tell with a quick visit. Perhaps a more careful exploration will turn something up. If you find that to be the case, I shall sincerely appreciate your letting me know so I can correct this paragraph.

No longer true. http://local.live.com/ do as well.

Are there any others?
