North Highland: I-66 - MM 73.9 - WB
Built around a Potomac River crossing, Rosslyn grew into Arlington’s high-rise commercial district. Its modern streets sit immediately west of the Potomac, opposite Georgetown and within the Washington metropolitan core. Interstate 66 and U.S. Route 29 meet here, while Rosslyn station connects the Orange, Blue and Silver Metro lines. The neighborhood developed beside the Aqueduct Bridge, which carried the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal across the river to Georgetown from 1843 until 1923. Today office towers, hotels and apartment buildings stand among mature roadside trees, with the Potomac waterfront and trails close by. The U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery lie nearby, placing Rosslyn close to major sites of national memory.

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.
