Coalville: D1 - US 20 @ MM 124.6 (Bus US 20)
The Des Moines River defines the setting of Coalville — its valley runs through central Iowa farm country, where broad fields and gently rolling ground set the local character. This small unincorporated community lies in Webster County, southeast of Fort Dodge, beside the U.S. Route 20 corridor. Its name recalls the coal deposits and mining that once shaped parts of the Des Moines River valley; Fort Dodge became an important centre of Iowa’s gypsum industry. Today, the area is defined by agriculture, freight traffic and long-distance road links across the state. Coalville gives a clear sense of the working rural landscape beyond Iowa’s larger towns.

Iowa combines broad agricultural openness with wooded river corridors in a way that reflects its position within the American Midwest. The Mississippi River forms much of the eastern border, while the Missouri River marks the west; between them, rolling prairie, farmland, and smaller waterways shape the state’s largely rural character. Des Moines, the capital, is Iowa’s main urban centre and hosts the annual Iowa State Fair, an institution closely associated with the state’s farming traditions. The Loess Hills along the western edge add a distinct landform to this predominantly lowland state. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Iowa.

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.
