Ellsworth: D1 - I-35 @ MM 132.9 (IA 175)
Few places in Iowa have a history as closely tied to agriculture as Ellsworth. This small Hamilton County community lies amid the working fields of the state’s interior, where broad, gently rolling land has long supported grain and livestock production. Interstate 35 passes beside Ellsworth, placing the town on the principal north–south highway linking Des Moines with Minneapolis–Saint Paul. The 330th Street interchange connects the surrounding farm country directly to that corridor. Rather than centring on a monumental landmark, Ellsworth represents the road-and-field landscape that shapes much of rural Iowa: orderly section roads, expansive cropland and modest services for residents and through traffic.

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.
