About location

The landscape around Camas is shaped by the broad Columbia River and wooded foothills, which have shaped both the built environment and local life. The city occupies Washington’s southwestern edge, opposite Oregon, where the Columbia has long supported trade and industry. State Route 14 follows the river corridor through Camas and links the area with communities of the Columbia River Gorge. Papermaking was central to Camas for more than a century: a mill established here in 1883 helped establish the town’s industrial identity. Downtown Camas retains a compact commercial core, while nearby Lacamas Lake and its surrounding parkland add a quieter residential side to the city. The river, forest and transport corridor remain the framework of this part of Clark County.

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
Region Washington

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.
