South Landing: US-395 : Crowley Lake
South Landing sits at Crowley Lake in eastern California, where U.S. Route 395 runs through open Long Valley below the eastern Sierra Nevada. The roadside area is near the reservoir’s southern end in Mono County and forms part of the principal north–south road corridor through the Eastern Sierra. Crowley Lake was created in 1941, when Long Valley Dam impounded the Owens River for the Los Angeles Aqueduct system. The reservoir is known for fishing, while the surrounding Long Valley Caldera is one of California’s major volcanic landscapes. Mammoth Lakes lies west of the highway, and the route serves mountain communities and public lands across Mono County.

Crowley Lake defines the setting of South Landing — the reservoir spreads across the open floor of Long Valley below the eastern Sierra Nevada, giving this small shore area a broad, high-country character. Created in 1941 when Long Valley Dam impounded the Owens River, the lake forms part of Los Angeles’s Owens Valley water system. Its shores are known for trout fishing, while the surrounding Long Valley Caldera provides a striking volcanic context. This is far from California’s coastal image: sagebrush country, changeable mountain weather and the Sierra’s granite crest shape the wider Mono County setting.

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.
