Omaha: I-80: North of I in - Various Views
Omaha is best known within Nebraska for its role as the state’s largest city. The city stands on the Missouri River, opposite Iowa, and its metropolitan area extends across the rolling plains of eastern Nebraska. Interstate 80 is a principal east–west route through Omaha, while Interstate 680 forms a northern and western bypass, reflecting the city’s place in the regional road network. Omaha grew as a Missouri River crossing and railroad center; Union Pacific has its headquarters here. Downtown combines the brick warehouse district of the Old Market with modern office towers, and the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is a major civic attraction. Riverfront industry, rail heritage and broad suburban development give Omaha a distinctly Midwestern urban character.

Omaha sits on the Missouri River in eastern Nebraska, where the broad waterway forms the boundary with Iowa. Downtown rises from the riverfront in a city shaped by railroads, meatpacking and the economy of the Great Plains. The Old Market preserves blocks of brick commercial buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, now occupied by independent shops, galleries and restaurants. Union Station, an Art Deco landmark built in 1931, houses The Durham Museum and recalls Omaha’s place in American rail travel. The city is also home to Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, noted for its large indoor habitats. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Omaha and eastern Nebraska.

Nebraska occupies a broad central stretch of the Great Plains in the United States. The Platte River crosses its southern half, its wide valley long serving as a natural east–west corridor through the prairie. In the north, the Nebraska Sandhills form one of the world’s largest areas of grass-stabilized sand dunes, while western Nebraska becomes drier and more rugged. Much of the Oregon Trail followed the Platte River corridor, linking the state to the great nineteenth-century migration west. Today, working farms, ranches, university cities and expansive open country all remain central to Nebraska’s identity.

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.
