Google Maps 3D feature
Maybe I'm just late discovering this but Google Now has a fantastic 3D feature that gives you a fly over view of the map.
Colorado 141 South of Grand Junction
You open the map, switch to satellite view, then click on the 3D button. Then hold down the CTRL key and drag the map (not the compass rose on the right side bottom) until you get a good perspective.
The example is a particularly good example since that area has a lot canyons.
For people looking for a boondocking site, or who want to check out the grade of a road this looks like a major resource.
