If -- like me -- you haven't gearth-surfed in a bit, get ready for updated imagery. Much of at least the Mass. part of PAS now has a 05-06-2015 imagery date, especially helpful for understanding both the Wachusett and 335 parts of the Wachusett Extension. Didn't have time to check PAS out west or D-2 or D-1.

I should know this but how can you tell the imagery date easily?

A quick/spot check on 06-18-2015, showed the 05-06-2015 updates in effect from just about walker Road to a small bit west of Orange, 2014 or earlier dates being in effect from downtown Ayer east and Millers Falls west, including Hoosick Falls. There's probably more recent photography, but the other update elements may not yet be in place.
