Chilhowie: US-11 - VA-107 - Smyth Co
Chilhowie has served as a commercial town in Smyth County since its incorporation in 1913. In southwest Virginia’s Appalachian Highlands, the community grew along the corridor now followed by U.S. Route 11; Interstate 81 runs nearby. Virginia Route 107 joins U.S. 11 at the center, where modest brick storefronts, businesses and civic buildings create a compact main-street district. Chilhowie lies in the Holston River watershed, part of the Tennessee River system. Its location between Marion and Abingdon gives the town a practical role for local services and through traffic, while the surrounding ridge-and-valley terrain places it firmly in Virginia’s mountain borderlands.

Built around a railway station, Chilhowie grew into a small town in Smyth County, southwest Virginia. It lies in the Valley and Ridge section of the Appalachians, north of the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, where farmland and wooded slopes define the surrounding country. US Route 11 passes through town, continuing Chilhowie’s connection to a long-established north–south route across western Virginia. Rail and road have given its compact centre a practical, travel-oriented character, while the wider area leads toward the highlands around Mount Rogers.

Among the regions of the United States, Virginia stands out for its sweep from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay. Its varied terrain includes the Shenandoah Valley, the Piedmont of the central counties, and a long Atlantic-facing coast. Richmond, on the James River, is Virginia’s capital and a major centre of American Civil War history; farther east, Jamestown was the site of England’s first permanent settlement in North America, founded in 1607. Shenandoah National Park and its Skyline Drive trace the crest of the Blue Ridge. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Virginia.

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.
