Microsoft's Live Map (http://maps.live.com/) seems quite good as well. I have found that they seem to have better detailed coverage than Google Earth though some of the pictures are rather out of date (e.g. Wigrams Turn Marina is still a field) but if you are looking for a lost canal I don't suppose that matters!
