Well with terraserver there was 2 ways of using it that I found. If you wanted the most up to date satellite views you had to pay but if you wanted older, maybe 2-5 years old, you didn't. I had it bookmarked so I never had to jump through the hoops to get to the free side of it or maybe I found a hole in the site. As far as I know you don't have to pay with MSRMaps. I used it last year to map out Ririe. You can get some good topo from the 50's, 60's, and 70's, before several reservoirs where created.
One thing I did notice is that depending on how you zoom is you can be on a topo that is from the 90's but zooming in you can be on a topo from the 60's. Also, try to keep zooming in to see the contour lines. I just tried Island Park and was unable to get a map of it, but Ririe, Mackay, Pali
es, etc. you can find. It really just depends on where you are. For reservoirs you can see the area that is covered by water when full.
