Chico: Hwy 99 at Skyway 1
The landscape around Chico is a broad, level plain of the Sacramento Valley, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Big Chico Creek runs through the city and into Bidwell Park, a long municipal park that brings oak woodland and canyon country close to residential neighborhoods. Chico developed from the settlement founded by John Bidwell in 1860 and retains a compact downtown centered on City Plaza. California State University, Chico, founded in 1887, anchors its college-town character, while State Route 99 links the urban area with farming districts and the wider north–south valley corridor. To the east, the terrain rises toward the Sierra Nevada foothills.

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.
