Anchorage: Seward Highway
Seward Highway lies along Turnagain Arm, where the Chugach Mountains rise directly from tidal flats and the road traces Alaska’s deeply indented south-central coast. At this point south of Anchorage, forested slopes, roadside wetlands and the arm’s broad mudflats make the route feel markedly more remote than the city it serves. The highway follows a corridor shared with the Alaska Railroad, joining Anchorage with the port town of Seward on the Kenai Peninsula. It is designated an All-American Road, a national recognition reserved for routes whose journey is itself a principal attraction. Turnagain Arm is known for some of North America’s largest tidal ranges, which continually reshape its exposed flats.

Built around the homelands of Indigenous peoples and later linked by fur-trade and mining routes, Alaska grew into the largest state in the United States. These coordinates lie in the Interior, where the Tanana River crosses a country of broad lowlands, boreal forest and long winters. Alaska extends from the Gulf of Alaska to the Arctic Ocean and includes Denali, North America’s highest mountain. Athabascan communities remain central to the living cultural fabric of the interior. The Alaska Railroad reached Fairbanks in 1923, helping connect this remote region with the coast. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Interior Alaska.

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.
