There must've been a strong north wind and all hard falling tide on a 2006 shot because every reef out there was exposed when the satellite was overhead. It really gives you a great idea of how they are laid out. I know the USGS has some great aerial photography shots that's a lot clearer then satellite imagery from SPOT or Landsat, but I haven't messed around with it since I was in the Marine Corps. We used to use it for domestic training to get around the intelligence oversight restrictions.

Bing-o Marque! (that was a bit corny huh...) That is the overlay I am using and why I am using it. the imagery date is from 2006 but I am able to compensate for that with the contour map.
If you notice in the pic you can see the reefs underneath the red highlight. I am able to troll all of the maps Google, Bing, nautical, etc. and create shapes marking the reefs and points of interest.
I also have old shoreline of marsh island and other areas traced out and added to the map. You mentioned that above.
Best of all I am able to do all of this for under $200.
