Belle Haven: I-95 - MM 177.3 - SB
Among Northern Virginia’s communities, Alexandria stands out for its Potomac River setting and close ties to the national capital. Interstate 395 runs through the city as a principal route between central Washington and the Capital Beltway, while local arteries connect residential and commercial districts. Alexandria began as a colonial port in 1749, and Old Town retains a dense street grid of 18th- and 19th-century buildings along the waterfront. The city also contains the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, completed in 1932 on Shooters Hill. Beyond its historic core, rail lines, major roads and redeveloped neighbourhoods reflect Alexandria’s role in the Washington metropolitan area.

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.
