Monterey: US-250 - WB - East of WVA line
Monterey has served as the county seat of Highland County in Virginia’s Allegheny Mountains since the county was created in 1847. The small town lies on US Route 250, an east–west road that crosses high country between Staunton and West Virginia. Forested ridges, working farms and scattered settlements shape this sparsely populated part of the state, while the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests extend across much of the surrounding mountain country. Highland County is closely associated with maple syrup production and its annual Highland County Maple Festival, and Monterey remains the local centre for public services and commerce.

Built around the new county seat established when Highland County was formed in 1847, Monterey grew into the administrative centre of Virginia’s least populous county. The town sits in the Allegheny Mountains close to the West Virginia line, where open pastureland and forested ridges define the Highland County landscape. Its name commemorates the 1846 Battle of Monterrey in Mexico, and the Highland County Maple Festival each spring reflects a long local tradition of maple-syrup making. US Route 250 passes through this remote upland community, linking it with mountain roads across western Virginia.

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.
