Prescott
Built around the U.S. Army post of Fort Whipple, Prescott grew into a historic civic and commercial centre of northern Arizona. It served several terms as the capital of Arizona Territory in the 19th century, while Courthouse Plaza remains the focal point of downtown and the Yavapai County Courthouse anchors the square. Nearby Whiskey Row preserves historic commercial buildings associated with the mining-era town. Prescott lies in Arizona’s central highlands, where forested slopes and dry ground meet; the Bradshaw Mountains rise to the south, and the granite outcrops of the Granite Dells lie north of the city. Its historic core and regional role set it apart from Arizona’s larger desert metros.

Prescott occupies a highland basin in north-central Arizona, between the Bradshaw Mountains and the Granite Dells, where weathered granite boulders shape the outskirts. At roughly 5,400 feet (1,646 metres), the city has a markedly cooler climate than the Sonoran Desert lowlands. Granite Creek passes through town, while Prescott National Forest extends across the surrounding uplands. The Courthouse Plaza remains the civic centre, and nearby Whiskey Row recalls Prescott’s role as Arizona Territory’s capital from 1864.

Arizona is renowned in the United States for the Grand Canyon, carved by the Colorado River in the state’s north. Its terrain extends from the Sonoran Desert, where saguaro cacti define the south, to ponderosa pine forests and the high plateaus of the Colorado Plateau. The red-rock country around Sedona and the sandstone buttes of Monument Valley are enduring symbols of the American Southwest. Indigenous heritage remains central: Arizona is home to 22 federally recognized tribes, including the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe. Historic Route 66 also passes through northern communities such as Flagstaff and Kingman. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Arizona.

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.
