Westwood: I-81 - MM 311.5 - SB
Westwood lies in the Shenandoah Valley, between the Blue Ridge and Appalachian ridges to the west, where wooded slopes and farmland frame a broad north–south corridor. Interstate 81 runs through the community as part of western Virginia’s principal highway route, while nearby U.S. Route 11 follows an older spine of Valley settlement. This is a landscape shaped by movement as much as agriculture: divided highways, local roads and scattered homes occupy the valley floor, with tree cover thickening on the surrounding slopes. The Shenandoah Valley has served as an important route between the Mid-Atlantic and the South since the colonial period, and that role remains evident in Westwood’s road-centred setting. Fields and forest still define much of the wider region.

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.
