We present results of a global survey of single-pixel intensity power spectra from a 12-hour time period on 26 June 2013 in a 1600x1600 pixel region from four channels of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument. We extract single-pixel time series from a derotated image sequence, fit models to the power spectra of these time series, and study the spatial dependence of the model parameters. Two power spectra models are considered: i) a three-parameter power-law + tail model and ii) a power-law + tail model + three-parameter localized Lorentzian, the latter to model periodicity. Spectra are well-described by at least one of these models for all pixel locations, with the spatial distribution of best-fit model parameters shown to provide new and unique insights into turbulent, quiescent and periodic features in the EUV corona and upper photosphere. Findings include: individual model parameters correspond clearly and directly to visible solar features; detection of numerous quasi-periodic three- and five-minute oscillations; observational identification of concentrated magnetic flux as regions of largest power-law indices [n]; identification of unique spectral features of coronal holes and filaments; identification of sporadic and pervasive five-minute oscillations throughout the corona; detection of the known global ~4.0-minute chromospheric oscillation; "coronal bullseyes" appearing as radially decaying periodicities over sunspots and sporadic foot-point regions; and "penumbral periodic voids" appearing as broad rings around sunspots in 1600 and 1700 {\AA} in which spectra contain no statistically significant periodic component.
