Yes, I think there might be, as the overhead images of that level of detail are generally taken by corporations which are subcontracted to fly planes out and take pictures, and they usually retain copyright. This is why in the corner of Google Earth there's often a (c) Terremark (or similar) remark in the corner and/or on the main map. You would have to contact those corporations in order to buy the rights.
Alternatively, find someone on LW who parachutes, and have them take a picture of a suitable area from several hundred feet up. (This remark is 70% serious)
As to the actual drawn-up map part, assuming OpenStreetMap has a good enough level of detail for one's area, that might be easier to get rights for.
