Hit satellite and zoom in to the next to highest zoom.

There was a great photo of it as the featured photo of the day over at Wikipedia. So I went to the page and read up till I could find it on the map. Took me a while.

Of course, then a friend pointed out the photo of the day actually has GPS coordinates for where the camera was. Duh. Still neat to see that kind of thing. I love Google maps, it's just fascinating sometimes.
 
That's pretty cool. What if Google Maps got a picture of Cloverfield?
