About location

Among the cities of Northern California, Chico stands out for its setting where the Sacramento Valley meets the Sierra Nevada foothills. Big Chico Creek runs through the city and Bidwell Park, a broad municipal park that follows the creek from urban neighborhoods toward oak woodland and canyon country. Founded by John Bidwell in 1860, Chico developed as an agricultural center and is now home to California State University, Chico, founded in 1887. Downtown retains a walkable grid of shops, restaurants and civic buildings, while State Route 99 links the city with the wider valley. Orchards, fields and open land around Chico underline its place in one of California’s major farming regions.

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.
