Notice that some states have satellite imagery available, and some are flown aerial photos.
Some states offer these aerial photos for FREE. Example: Kentucky offers aerials for the entire state in .jpg at 72 dpi, usgs topo .tiffs, geologic quadrangle .tiffs, digital elevation data, tagged vector contours, ... everything.
The problem is finding the website that offers these images. But once they're found, you can use AutoCAD if you've got it, or ESRI's ArcExplorer (a free download) to tile these images together to create any size mosaic you want. And they look great, as long as you don't try to zoom in right on top of your house.
And you can keep your $35.
