Ottumwa: WL - I-380 @ MM 70.7 (River Forest Rd)
River Forest Road interchange is best known within Iowa for connecting the Waterloo area to Interstate 380, a principal north–south route in eastern Iowa. The corridor lies in Black Hawk County among broad highway verges and woodland, within the wider Cedar River valley. Waterloo developed as an industrial city, notably through the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company, which John Deere acquired in 1918. The metropolitan area remains an important centre for manufacturing and services in the Cedar Valley, with major roads linking it to communities across the region.

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.
