Maryhill: US 97 at MP 2.2: SR14
Maryhill occupies a dry upland above the Columbia River in south-central Washington. The community stands amid basalt terrain, open rangeland and irrigated farmland in a broad section of the river corridor. State Route 97 runs through Maryhill and joins the nearby Columbia River crossing to Oregon, making the settlement a useful link between the two states. Its best-known cultural institution is the Maryhill Museum of Art, housed in an unfinished mansion commissioned by road-builder and entrepreneur Sam Hill. The museum holds collections ranging from European art to Native American objects and fashion mannequins from the Théâtre de la Mode. Maryhill also lends its name to the historic Maryhill Loops Road, an early paved hill-climb route above the river.

Washington’s terrain runs from Pacific coastal lowlands in the west to the dry Columbia Plateau in the east, with the Cascade Range creating a marked climatic divide. Central Washington lies on the plateau side of the Cascades, where the Columbia River has cut broad valleys and irrigation supports orchards and vineyards. The state also includes Puget Sound, the intricate marine inlet around Seattle, and the volcanic cone of Mount Rainier. Seattle’s Space Needle, built for the 1962 World’s Fair, remains one of its most recognisable landmarks. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Washington.

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.
