Arlington: CCTVP-N79375
The Potomac River defines the setting of Arlington — its Virginia shore faces Washington, DC, while dense neighborhoods and major transport corridors spread west from the water. Directly across the river, the capital’s monuments and federal core give Arlington an unusually close relationship with the national seat of government. Arlington National Cemetery, established during the Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, is the county’s most consequential historic landscape and the burial place of US service members and national figures. The Pentagon, headquarters of the Department of Defense, anchors another major federal district south of the cemetery. Rosslyn’s office towers and busy streets underline Arlington’s role as an urban counterpart to downtown Washington.

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.
