What do you think about this:

http://earth.google.com/

I think it's better than maps.google.com
because of higher resolution of maps.

google earth uses the same images that are found on maps.google.com. The only difference is that google earth allows you to zoom in further and you can articulate the images. And also the 3d buildings and landscaping.

They divert over 70% of the water into the power plant where it gets dumped below the falls.

And I have no idea if any other places are censored. That is the only building/place that I have found so far.
