Lima: I-75 at SR-117 - SR-309, D01-001
Few places in northwest Ohio have a history as closely tied to petroleum as Lima. Oil was discovered here in 1885, setting off a boom that turned the city into an important producing and refining centre and gave its name to the Lima oil field. The Ottawa River runs through Lima, while the surrounding Allen County landscape opens into agricultural ground, woodland and transport corridors. Interstate 75 is the principal north–south route through the city; its junction with State Routes 117 and 309 lies on Lima’s southern edge. Downtown retains a civic core shaped by industrial-era growth, and the Allen County Museum documents local history, including the region’s oil heritage.

Built around the Ohio River corridor and Lake Erie trade routes, Ohio grew into a major state of the American Midwest. Its terrain extends from the Appalachian foothills in the southeast across fertile central plains to Lake Erie’s northern shore, while the Cuyahoga River passes through Cleveland before entering the lake. Columbus, the state capital, stands near the centre of the state. Cincinnati developed along the Ohio River, and Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame marks the city’s place in American music. Dayton is closely linked with the Wright brothers and the early history of powered flight. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of 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.
