Reference images for creating neighborhoods in Blender?

I am wondering if there are any reference images for creating neighborhoods in Blender?  Any links to some sites for downloading reference overhead images of typical US neighborhoods?

    And if you're looking for the houses themselves, there's always Collective3D.

    I am sorry for not being quite clear in what I said, but I was referring to creating roads and streets in Blender.

    Like, the actual asphalt?

    Just make a quad and add some road textures to it: https://cc0textures.com/list?category=Road

    I think he is asking for like block layouts, like showing building/road placement. I use google maps for that kind of thing.

    Depending on the neighborhood you might find it easier to use the old Sketchup Warehouse neighborhoods for some places and then section by section replace and model those usually very low poly sketchup models using Google Streetview images as references. It's a lot of work however you do it but that gets you somewhere.
