Bellevue: CB - I-29 @ MM 42.9 (IA 370)
Council Bluffs occupies a broad Missouri River floodplain in southwestern Iowa, immediately east of Omaha. Interstate 29 and Iowa Highway 370 meet on the city’s southern side, forming part of a transport corridor linking the Omaha–Council Bluffs metropolitan area with routes across the Midwest. The land beside the river is flat, while the Loess Hills rise east of the city; the Missouri also marks the boundary with Nebraska. In the mid-19th century, the settlement was known as Kanesville and became an important outfitting point for Latter-day Saint emigrants travelling west. Council Bluffs was later selected as the eastern terminus of the first transcontinental railroad. Today, road and rail links, residential areas, industry and open land meet at the edge of a major bi-state urban area.

The landscape around Bellevue is defined by the Missouri River floodplain and adjoining wooded bluffs, which have shaped both the city’s development pattern and local economy. Fontenelle Forest preserves woodland and trails on the bluffs above the river, while Haworth Park provides public access to the waterfront. Bellevue began as a fur-trading settlement in 1822, long before Nebraska became a state. Offutt Air Force Base, just south of the city, is a major regional institution and the headquarters of U.S. Strategic Command.

Nebraska occupies a broad central stretch of the Great Plains in the United States. The Platte River crosses its southern half, its wide valley long serving as a natural east–west corridor through the prairie. In the north, the Nebraska Sandhills form one of the world’s largest areas of grass-stabilized sand dunes, while western Nebraska becomes drier and more rugged. Much of the Oregon Trail followed the Platte River corridor, linking the state to the great nineteenth-century migration west. Today, working farms, ranches, university cities and expansive open country all remain central to Nebraska’s identity.

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.
