Calpella: SR-20 : East Of US-101 - Looking East (C006)
Calpella has served as a rural settlement in Mendocino County since the late 19th century. Set at the northern edge of the Ukiah Valley, it lies near the Russian River, where cultivated valley land gives way to dry, oak-dotted hills in California’s Coast Ranges. The community takes its name from Chief Calpella, a Pomo leader. California State Route 20 runs east from its junction with US 101, crossing winding uplands toward Lake County and Clear Lake. Broad shoulders, freight traffic and exposed slopes define this transition between the Russian River valley and the interior ranges.

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.
