Digital Orthophoto Quarter-Quadrangles (DOQQ)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthophoto

DOQQ use aerial photos that have been digitally corrected to avoid distortion from topography, camera angle etc. These true images have a accuracy of a map and a photo. While the process is extremely expensive, these maps are also extremely useful. The image above and an orthophoto of the National Mall in Washington DC.
