Keokuk: D5 - US 136 @ N. 1st St (03)
Keokuk lies along the Mississippi River at Iowa’s southeastern edge, where broad water and low bluffs mark the border with Illinois. The city developed as an important Mississippi crossing and river port, with US 136 linking Keokuk to Hamilton, Illinois, across the river. Keokuk Lock and Dam, completed in 1913, remains a defining work of early twentieth-century river engineering and hydroelectric development. Its lock is part of the Upper Mississippi navigation system, while the riverfront gives the city a distinctly borderland character. Keokuk National Cemetery, established during the Civil War, reflects the town’s role as a Union military hospital center.

The Mississippi River defines the setting of Keokuk — its broad channel and the Lock and Dam No. 19 complex have long shaped local transport and power generation. Set at Iowa’s southeastern tip, the city faces Illinois across the river and stands close to the Missouri border, giving it a distinctly tri-state context. Keokuk takes its name from Keokuk, a prominent Sauk leader of the nineteenth century. The Keokuk National Cemetery and the Grand Theatre reflect parts of its civic past, while the riverfront remains central to the city’s identity.

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.
