Arvin: KER-99-AT UNION AVE
Bakersfield lies along the Kern River at the southern end of California’s San Joaquin Valley, where a broad, largely level basin meets low, dry foothills. The city is the county seat of Kern County and a major service centre for a region shaped by agriculture and energy production. State Route 99 passes through Bakersfield as a principal north–south route in the Central Valley, while the Kern River Parkway follows the watercourse through the city as a continuous corridor of parks and trails. Bakersfield also gave its name to the Bakersfield Sound, a direct, electric-guitar-led style of country music associated with mid-20th-century artists such as Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. That mix of transport, industry, river space and musical heritage gives this inland California city a distinct identity.

Built around a railway stop in the southern San Joaquin Valley, Arvin grew into an agricultural city in Kern County. It sits below the Tehachapi Mountains, where the flat, intensively farmed valley begins to rise toward passes leading to the Mojave Desert. Fields, packing operations and irrigation have long shaped local life in this dry part of California. Incorporated in 1960, Arvin forms part of the broader Bakersfield area while retaining its own small-city 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.
