About location

Barstow combines desert remoteness with the constant movement of a major highway junction in a way that reflects its geographic position in the Mojave Desert. Interstate 15 and Interstate 40 meet in and around this San Bernardino County city, making it a longstanding crossroads between Southern California, Las Vegas and the Southwest. Historic Route 66 follows Main Street, where the restored Harvey House Railroad Depot recalls Barstow’s railway era; the building houses museums devoted to Route 66 and western railroad history. Beyond the commercial corridors, low desert scrub and broad open ground underline the scale of the surrounding Mojave. Barstow remains a practical stop for road travellers, rail enthusiasts and those tracing the region’s transport history.

Barstow
City Barstow

Barstow occupies the Mojave River valley in California’s Mojave Desert. The city stands at a long-established transport crossroads: Interstate 15, Interstate 40 and historic Route 66 meet its road network, while BNSF freight traffic underlines Barstow’s continuing rail role. The Mojave River is often dry at the surface here, a reminder that this is desert shaped by seasonal watercourses rather than a conventional riverside setting. Casa del Desierto, the 1911 Harvey House and railroad depot, houses the Route 66 Mother Road Museum and the Western America Railroad Museum.

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.
