Columbus: Indianola Forest: City of Columbus) High St at Lane Ave
Columbus occupies a broad plain at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers in central Ohio. The High Street and Lane Avenue intersection lies beside Ohio State University, whose main campus shapes the University District’s mix of students, residents and local businesses. High Street is the district’s historic north–south commercial spine, lined here with low-rise retail buildings, apartments and streets used by buses, cyclists and pedestrians. A short distance west, the Olentangy River follows a chain of parks and university grounds. Founded in 1870 as the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College, Ohio State remains central to Columbus’s civic and cultural life.

Columbus straddles the Scioto River in central Ohio, a broad lowland corridor that has concentrated its civic core and riverfront parks. As Ohio’s capital, it is defined by the Greek Revival Ohio Statehouse, completed in 1861, and by downtown streets leading toward the Short North arts district. The Scioto Mile links promenades, green space and public gathering places along the water, while nearby German Village preserves a dense 19th-century brick streetscape. Ohio State University adds another major civic and cultural presence north of downtown. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Columbus and central Ohio.

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.
