I thought I had seen one but I can't remember where it is. Google maps gets all fuzzy when you pull in for the tight shots and non-urban areas have zero focus, except for the entire state of Indiana which they seemed to have mapped very thoroughly for some odd reason.

1. Try local.live.com and use the bird's eye view if available.

2. NASA's World Wind is good.
It has several different types of maps as well as aerial photography.
