There weren't any satellites until the first in 1957, and none that took photos until years later, so you're not going to find any such thing. | ||

The Dept. of Agriculture (or its predecessor)took aerial photos of every acre of agricultural land in the U.S every 2 years starting in the mid-'30's Those photos are archived at the Library of Congress in Washington and are for sale at a reasonable price. I have used this source to obtain photos taken in TX from '38 to'42 showing that the course of a river had changed significantly during that period, w/ very significant legal consequences. The photos were of very high quality and showed all surface features including wagon tracks etc. I'll bet they have many photos of then-suburban Detroit. | ||
