Arlington: I-66 - MM 75 - EB
Arlington combines a dense urban edge with broad green corridors in a way that reflects its position beside the Potomac River opposite Washington, DC. This Virginia county is woven into the capital region by major roads, Metro lines and bridges, while its neighbourhoods range from high-rise Rosslyn to established residential areas. Arlington National Cemetery was created during the Civil War on the former estate of Robert E. Lee and is the county’s best-known historic site. The Pentagon, headquarters of the US Department of Defense, stands on Arlington’s eastern side. Multilane roads and overpasses underline the county’s role as a commuting and business centre.

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.
