Coalville: D1 - US 20 @ MM 126.20 - Quad
Coalville is best known within Iowa for its U.S. Highway 20–Iowa Highway 17 interchange. The community lies in an agricultural part of Webster County, where major roads cross cultivated fields and gently rolling ground. U.S. 20 is a transcontinental route running from the Pacific Northwest to New England; in Iowa, it forms an important east–west link across the state’s north-central counties. Coalville is part of the wider Fort Dodge area, a regional centre long associated with gypsum mining and processing. The Des Moines River runs through Fort Dodge to the west, creating a river corridor within a landscape otherwise shaped by prairie farming and road transport.

Built around coal mines, Coalville developed into an unincorporated community in Webster County, Iowa. It lies in the Des Moines River valley southeast of Fort Dodge, where river-bottom ground meets the broad agricultural country of central Iowa. Coal extraction once played an important role in this part of the state, and Coalville’s name preserves that industrial chapter. The settlement remains a useful local reference point beyond the larger city, with the river corridor and working farmland shaping its surroundings.

Iowa combines broad agricultural openness with wooded river corridors in a way that reflects its position within the American Midwest. The Mississippi River forms much of the eastern border, while the Missouri River marks the west; between them, rolling prairie, farmland, and smaller waterways shape the state’s largely rural character. Des Moines, the capital, is Iowa’s main urban centre and hosts the annual Iowa State Fair, an institution closely associated with the state’s farming traditions. The Loess Hills along the western edge add a distinct landform to this predominantly lowland state. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Iowa.

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.
