Burlington: DM - I-235 @ MM 6.3 (35th St)
Des Moines is best known within Iowa for serving as the state capital. This section of Interstate 235 near 31st Street forms part of the cross-city road network that carries traffic through the metropolitan core. Des Moines developed where the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers meet, a setting that still shapes its downtown, bridges and parkland. The Iowa State Capitol, completed in 1886 and distinguished by its gilded dome, stands on a hill east of the river. Beyond the freeway, established residential streets, commercial districts and civic institutions reflect the practical, urban character of Iowa’s largest metropolitan area.

Among the cities of Iowa, Burlington stands out for its historic streets climbing the bluffs above the Mississippi River. The riverfront city developed as an important nineteenth-century settlement, and its Heritage Hill Historic District preserves a concentrated collection of homes and civic architecture from that era. Snake Alley, a brick lane laid out in a sequence of sharp curves, is Burlington’s best-known landmark and links the hillside neighbourhoods with downtown. Parks and trails along the waterfront keep the broad Mississippi central to daily life.

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.
