Valley View is best known within southeastern Ohio for its setting in the Hocking River valley, amid the rolling terrain of the Appalachian Plateau. The small locality lies just south of Athens, where Ohio University, founded in 1804, has long shaped the area’s cultural and educational life. Wooded ridges, narrow hollows and the river corridor give this part of Athens County a distinctly Appalachian character, rather than the broad farmland associated with much of Ohio. Roads through the valley connect local communities with Athens and the wider region. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Valley View and southeastern Ohio.
