Terraserver has worked the best for me in the past; I especially like the
ease of changing coordinate systems. The real utility of the Google site
is the seamless scrolling; I found Wetumpka by following the river and
Middlesborough by entering the city name. Looks like a very handy "recon"
website to me, and one can still score the high-res bits elsewhere.

Not to trumpet Google too much, but they've also started a version for
scientific papers only: http://scholar.google.com/

Cheers,
