you guys may already haave used this site. but anyway just choose your state then county, when the map loads, clik the basic tab at top right, then u can choose satelite overlay.

not the greatest but its free, and you can find old farm houses that used to reside in what is now just farm fields.

among other things.

Thank you so much for this! They have some maps I've been trying to get my hands on for a while but refused to shell out the $$$. Loving the overlay feature as well. This has really helped me out. Thanks a million!!
