Saltville: VA-91 - VA-107
Saltville occupies a broad valley in southwest Virginia beside the North Fork Holston River. Its identity was shaped by saline springs and deposits that supported salt making long before the modern town; the place name preserves that legacy. During the American Civil War, the Saltville works supplied salt to the Confederacy, making the community a military objective in 1864. Today, streets of detached homes and local businesses sit amid the folded ridges of the Appalachian region. The Museum of the Middle Appalachians documents the area’s geology, industry and human past, while the valley links communities in Smyth and Washington counties.

The North Fork of the Holston River defines the setting of Saltville — it runs through a broad southwest Virginia valley whose salt-bearing ground gave the town its original purpose. The area’s saline springs were used by Indigenous peoples long before commercial saltmaking turned Saltville into a major supplier, particularly during the Civil War. The Museum of the Middle Appalachians traces this industrial past and the wider story of the region. Today, Saltville retains the close-knit scale of an Appalachian town amid the highlands of Smyth County.

Among the regions of the United States, Virginia stands out for its sweep from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay. Its varied terrain includes the Shenandoah Valley, the Piedmont of the central counties, and a long Atlantic-facing coast. Richmond, on the James River, is Virginia’s capital and a major centre of American Civil War history; farther east, Jamestown was the site of England’s first permanent settlement in North America, founded in 1607. Shenandoah National Park and its Skyline Drive trace the crest of the Blue Ridge. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Virginia.

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.
