Marietta: I-77 at SR-7, D10-001

The landscape around Marietta is defined by the meeting of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. Founded in 1788 by the Ohio Company of Associates, it is regarded as the first permanent U.S. settlement in the Northwest Territory. The Campus Martius Museum stands on the site of the original fortified settlement and documents that formative chapter of American westward expansion. Nearby, Mound Cemetery preserves Conus Mound, an ancient burial mound that recalls the river valley's inhabitants long before 1788.

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.
