http://imagesearch.geoeye.com. This is a satellite imagery archive search site that allows you to see what satellite imagery GeoEye has collected over specific areas. It is designed to show what imagery is available for purchase, but its detailed base map and low-resolution image samples allow you to easily see a snapshot of what the area looks like both on a map and as a satellite image.
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/. This is a website for the map collection available at the University of Texas Austin. They offer a wide range of free downloadable political, physical, and thematic maps for locations around the world.
http://www.mapquest.com/. This is a great site for actually using maps as a travel planner. In addition to being able to provide free maps of a specific area, it also includes a detailed driving directions between two points and a gas prices database based on location. I use this site every time I am planning a trip.
