Hiouchi: US-197: 199 JCT

Hiouchi has served as a river-valley community in Del Norte County since the twentieth century. Beside the Smith River in far northwestern California, it stands on U.S. Route 199, linking Crescent City with Oregon’s Rogue Valley. The community is closely tied to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, established in 1929 and now part of Redwood National and State Parks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Old-growth coast redwoods follow nearby river corridors, while the Smith River is known for clear water and a largely undeveloped watershed.

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.
