Towards the end of August, Google took new high-res satellite images of our community for Google Earth/Google Maps, and they show pretty good detail! In June 2014, the Street View car came through and took photos, with wild errors in identifying locations (Some of our residences are apparently in Stettler, some in Bentley, others in Rimbey).
