The state of Minnesota runs a WMS server with a variety of data:

http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/chouse/wms/wms_image_server_description.html

The layer I tend to use is the USDA NAIP color imagery.  Since the
NAIP imagery comes from the US Federal Government it's in the public
domain.  Here's the details for JOSM:

wmsplugin.url.11.name=MnGeo NAIP 2009
wmsplugin.url.11.url=http://geoint.lmic.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/wmsll?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=fsa2009&SRS=EPSG:4326&STYLES=Default&FORMAT=image/jpeg&TRANSPARENT=FALSE&

There are quite a few other layers available but I haven't really
looked into using them.

I don't use Potlatch so I never bothered to figure out a way to view
the data there.
