Lincoln: Hwy 65 at Wise
Tucked along the eastern edge of California’s Sacramento Valley, Lincoln is a place whose character is shaped by the transition from valley farmland to the Sierra Nevada foothills. Auburn Ravine runs through the city on its way across the valley, while the surrounding Placer County countryside retains orchards, fields and low-density rural roads. Lincoln developed around the railroad and clay deposits; Gladding, McBean & Co., founded here in 1875, made the town a significant centre of brick, pipe and architectural terra-cotta production. Today its older commercial core and expanding residential districts sit within a landscape long tied to agriculture and the foothill edge.

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.
