Terraserver.com too out of date for you?\n\nYou could write to the USGS and/or the Canadian equivalent.\n\nMany public libraries keep such maps of their local areas.

Keep in mind, the images  in google Earth are mostly from a satellite called Ikonos.  While accurate geolocation of these data can permit it to be mapped onto a known altitude map, that knowledge is not a priori a part of the data set.  Accurate geolocation is not trivial so probably there are people at google monkeying around with mapping  image data onto their altitude maps until it "looks right" a tedious process that will not happen instantly. \n\nAlso, while I don't know where these surface maps of altitudes come from, they probably do not cover everything, so expect this to work only in limited areas. Finally, Ikonos has probably not mapped each area on the earth from lots of different directions and elevations, so you might have buildings with data for one side, but not another.

you can do the google earth thing. or there are loads of maps online.  Also your county courthouse should have plat maps if that is what you need.  It would help if you explained what kind of map you are seeking.\nplat, terain, flood plain, general area, what magnifacation.\n\nI love google earth... I have lived in many locations and I found my old homes real easy and the detail is great... it is kinda slow tho.

you can get an approximate value by finding your location on Google Earth.\nrun the cursor over your house and it will display the elevation (in feet) at the bottom of the screen.\n\nMore precise: unless you know a surveyor, try  GPS.\nIt will give accuracies as good as .02m (under an inch)

earth.google.com... It is not exactly a web site, You need to down load a 9MB software. Using that software you can zoom to your house, if it is not too small or hidden by trees etc. Again when you pan and zoom, it connects to earth.google.com and gets dats from satellite images repository.\n\nThere are free, Google earth + and premium service (paid service) whic offer different resolution and real time pictures. Free version provides coarse and old data. The resolution is not good for all parts of the globe, only some places are captured with good resolution

FIrst you'll have to download "google earth" from http://earth.google.com/ and then the next requirement is that only some places of USA and UK are visible through satellite imagery. So this is not such a good idea......

I would say that at this time Google Earth is pretty much as good as it gets.  It is an amazing program.  Any other program would probably utilize the same satellite imagery.
