SATELLITE VIEW OF MY HOUSE

(State Area Measurements)

The technology that can produce a satellite view of my house (or yours) has simplified land area measurements a great deal, as evidenced in the photos on this page.

Here's a bit of basic U.S. geography for anyone into ranking things by size. Below is a list of states, ranked by the total number of square miles per state (lowest to highest). Also indicated is how much of each state's area is land, and how much of it is water.

Shown to your right is a satellite view of Lake Merritt in Oakland, California. For more cool satellite views, visit GoogleEarth.com.
