Willits: SR20: South St
Few places in California have a history as closely tied to rail transport and the timber trade as Willits. Set in Mendocino County’s Little Lake Valley, the town stands where U.S. Route 101 meets State Route 20, a junction linking inland Northern California with routes toward the coast. Willits is the eastern terminus of the Skunk Train, a heritage service using part of the former California Western Railroad toward Fort Bragg. Its name recalls the line’s early gasoline railcars, whose pungent exhaust earned them the “Skunk” nickname. Downtown’s mix of highways, local businesses and rail heritage gives Willits a distinctly working Northern California character.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

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.
