Newport: US101 at - Yaquina Bay Jetty
The landscape around Newport is a low-lying Pacific estuary edged by sandy shore and working waterfronts, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Yaquina Bay forms the city’s sheltered harbor before meeting the Pacific Ocean between protective jetties. U.S. Route 101 crosses the bay on the Yaquina Bay Bridge, an Art Deco-style span completed in 1936 to a design by Oregon bridge engineer Conde McCullough. Newport’s bayfront remains tied to commercial fishing, with docks, seafood businesses and marine services alongside shops and restaurants. On the Oregon Coast, this is a practical port town whose identity is inseparable from its tidal waterway.

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.
