The L3Harris geospatial archive of lower resolution satellite imagery is a great option for those needing imagery of large areas, such as states, provinces, or entire countries. These sensors offer complete world coverage at a low cost per square kilometer, making it an excellent choice for those needing a simple base map. While this imagery is a bit too coarse to identify individual buildings, one can still generally see changes in landscapes, roads, and bodies of water.
