Camas: SR 14 at MP 13.1: Lady Island
Camas combines a wooded riverside setting with a long industrial legacy in a way that reflects its position on the north bank of the Columbia River, just east of Portland. State Route 14 follows the river through the city and continues east toward the Columbia River Gorge, placing Camas on a major southwest Washington road corridor. The community grew around a paper mill founded in 1883; the former mill site and downtown remain central to its identity as the waterfront evolves. Tree-lined residential districts rise above the river, while nearby Lacamas Lake and Lacamas Park bring trails and water into the city’s surroundings. Downtown Camas retains early-20th-century commercial buildings and independent shops, giving the city a defined center within the wider Portland metropolitan area.

Tucked between the Columbia River and the wooded uplands around Lacamas Lake in southwest Washington, Camas is a place whose character is shaped by water, mills and the Pacific Northwest’s evergreen setting. The city stands on the Washington side of the river, east of Vancouver and across from Oregon, within the Portland metropolitan area. Paper manufacturing began here in 1883 and became central to Camas’s growth, a legacy reflected in its long-established mill site near the river. Downtown’s historic commercial streets form a compact civic core, while Lacamas Lake and Lacamas Creek bring parks and trails close to residential neighborhoods.

Washington’s terrain runs from Pacific coastal lowlands in the west to the dry Columbia Plateau in the east, with the Cascade Range creating a marked climatic divide. Central Washington lies on the plateau side of the Cascades, where the Columbia River has cut broad valleys and irrigation supports orchards and vineyards. The state also includes Puget Sound, the intricate marine inlet around Seattle, and the volcanic cone of Mount Rainier. Seattle’s Space Needle, built for the 1962 World’s Fair, remains one of its most recognisable landmarks. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Washington.

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.
