Why is it helpful to understand what has happened on or around a property over the past 10, 20, or 30 years? A couple of reasons immediately come to mind...

First - it can help us understand whether or not this property is on the path of growth. If you zoom out to see the surrounding few square miles (or even the entire county), you may notice that some new building and development has occurred over the past 10 - 20 years. On the flip side, you may also notice that literally, nothing has changed. Either way - you should be able to draw some high-level conclusions about whether or not things are likely to grow in the coming 5, 10, or 20 years to come.

Second - this kind of historical satellite imagery can help us understand what activities may have taken place on the property in the recent past and/or what that property was used for. Has it ever been contaminated? Did it use to look better or worse than it currently does? Has the timber been harvested recently? Has this property improved or deteriorated over time? Chances are - if anything dramatic has changed in the past decade or two, the historical satellite pictures will help tell the story.

The availability of historical map data varies based on what parts of the world you're looking at - but chances are, you should be able to find SOME historical imagery through this helpful functionality in Google Earth.
