Slidell: I-220 (Traffic closest to this camera is traveling westbound on I-220)
Few places in northern Louisiana have a history as closely tied to Red River commerce as Shreveport. Founded in 1836 as Shreve Town, it developed after the removal of the Great Raft, an immense log jam that had long obstructed navigation on the Red River. Shreveport remains the commercial centre of northwest Louisiana, paired across the river with Bossier City. Its cultural landmarks include the Municipal Auditorium, home to the Louisiana Hayride radio programme from 1948; performers including Elvis Presley appeared there early in their careers. Riverfront casinos, downtown theatres and early-20th-century neighbourhoods give the city a distinct character within Caddo Parish.

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.
