Clinton: D6 - IA 136 @ MM 0.3 (Mississippi River - IA)
Clinton occupies the western bank of the Mississippi River in eastern Iowa. Across the water lies Fulton, Illinois, reached by the Illinois 136 bridge, one of the crossings that ties the two river communities together. Broad river flats, tree-lined banks and rail corridors give this part of the city a distinctly working-river character. In the late 19th century, Clinton grew into a major centre of the Mississippi lumber trade, as logs floated downstream from northern forests to its sawmills. That era is interpreted at the Sawmill Museum, while the river remains central to the city’s geography and connection with Illinois.

Clinton occupies the western bank of the Mississippi River in eastern Iowa. Set opposite Illinois, it is one of the state’s river cities whose identity was forged by the 19th-century lumber trade, when mills processed timber floated downriver from the North. The former town of Lyons, now Clinton’s north side, retains that separate civic past in its historic commercial district. Eagle Point Park stands on high ground above the river near Lock and Dam No. 13, part of the navigation system that still shapes the working waterfront. The Gateway Bridge and Lyons–Fulton Bridge connect the city with Illinois.

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.
