First off, expect this to be a time consuming project. That said,

this is what I would do... first go to google earth, and before doing anything else, go to the tools pull-down menu... from there, click the 3D View tab, and make sure these settings are as follows:

Texture Color: True Color (32 bit)

Terrian Quality: Higher (slower)

Map Size: Large

Zoom Relation: Infinity

Then, zoom into each area as closely as possible without skewing it (it should be like you are flying in the air and looking straight down at it, not like you are standing and looking out at it). E-mail the image to yourself. Pan, repeat. Make sure each image is "shot" from the SAME distance otherwise they won't line up right when you put them together.

Next, paste each image into a large photoshop document (high DPI, large physical size) and line it up with other images the best you can. Save as a PSD that you can adjust it later if you want, but also save a JPG for a reduced file size and to flatten layers (it will still be a HUGE file).

Hope that helps!
