North Dakota is best known within the United States for Theodore Roosevelt National Park’s eroded Badlands. Across the state, prairie, rolling plains and broad agricultural country are cut by the Missouri River, whose impoundment forms Lake Sakakawea, one of the nation’s largest reservoirs. Bismarck, the state capital, stands on the river’s east bank, while Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site preserves an important landscape of Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara history. Farther west, the Little Missouri River shapes the badlands associated with Theodore Roosevelt’s ranching years. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across North Dakota.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
