I am wondering if there is a source on the internet that would show detailed photographs of an area. I am planning on doing a wilderness hunt and have the 7.5 minute topographic maps of the area but would also like a satellite or other aerial type photograph of the area. How would I find such a map/photo? Thanks, Rufous.

Try this one.

TerraServer

Here's another one you can look at.
Find the topo you want and then click on aerial map.

http://www.mytopo.com

Try www.topozone.com and http://gisdata.usgs.net
These sites are fantrastic and can get VERY detailed. Example: I found my house on the latter site and was able to tell that I was at home when the photo was taken!!!

Mapquest.com now has aerial photos included in their pages.

Just locate the area in the map interface, zoom in/out as much as you want, and click on the tab "AERIAL PHOTO".

You can order all USGS and many other Federal map products from the sites below:

http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/products/status.html

http://edc.usgs.gov/

http://edcsns17.cr.usgs.gov/EarthExplorer/

If you are interested in Wyoming you can get most digital air photos and other GIS data from:

http://www.sdvc.uwyo.edu/

For Washington State try:

http://www.or.blm.gov/gis/

You can download a free software ArcExplorer which allows you to look at these data. Getting a copy of GeoMedia or ArcView is better.
