Bailey's Crossroads: I-395 - MM 4.5 - NB
Few places in Northern Virginia have a history as closely tied to housing wartime workers as North Fairlington. This residential area forms part of Fairlington, a planned garden-apartment community built during the Second World War for employees of the expanding federal government and defence industries. Fairlington’s low-rise brick homes, shared green courts and curving internal streets contrast with the I-395 corridor along the neighbourhood’s edge. The community belongs to the Fairlington Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Four Mile Run, a tributary of the Potomac River, flows through the nearby urban valley before reaching the Potomac. North Fairlington sits in the closely connected suburban fabric between Arlington and Alexandria.

Built around the meeting of Leesburg Pike and Columbia Pike, Bailey's Crossroads grew into a densely developed commercial and residential center in Fairfax County. The community occupies rolling Piedmont ground within the Potomac River watershed, close to the urban core of Arlington and Washington, D.C. Its name preserves the Bailey family’s early tavern at this road junction, when turnpikes connected rural Virginia with the capital. Today, apartment buildings, shops and the Skyline Center high-rise complex give this unincorporated community a metropolitan character, while the crossroads remains its organizing feature.

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.
