Jackson Special: I-70 at I-77, D05-003
Few places in eastern Ohio have a history as closely tied to long-distance road travel as Jackson Special. This roadside locality lies beside the I-70–I-77 interchange near Cambridge, where two of the state’s principal interstate corridors meet amid the wooded, rolling terrain of the Appalachian Plateau. I-70 provides an east–west route across Ohio, while I-77 links the Cleveland area with the Ohio River valley and points south. Cambridge, the nearby Guernsey County seat, grew along the National Road, the early overland route later designated U.S. Route 40. The junction is defined by broad highway curves, embankments, grass clearings and dense tree cover rather than an urban streetscape.

The Appalachian Plateau defines the setting of Jackson Special — wooded ridges and narrow valleys give this part of eastern Ohio its rolling, largely rural character. It lies in Guernsey County, in the long-settled belt between the Ohio River country and central Ohio. Coal mining was an important part of the county’s development, and that industrial heritage remains part of the identity of many surrounding communities. The historic National Road, now U.S. Route 40, crosses Guernsey County through Cambridge, recalling a major 19th-century route west.

Built around the Ohio River corridor and Lake Erie trade routes, Ohio grew into a major state of the American Midwest. Its terrain extends from the Appalachian foothills in the southeast across fertile central plains to Lake Erie’s northern shore, while the Cuyahoga River passes through Cleveland before entering the lake. Columbus, the state capital, stands near the centre of the state. Cincinnati developed along the Ohio River, and Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame marks the city’s place in American music. Dayton is closely linked with the Wright brothers and the early history of powered flight. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Ohio.

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.
