About location

Lake Havasu City is best known in Arizona for the London Bridge, a 19th-century structure brought from London and reconstructed here in 1971. Thompson Bay forms a broad inlet on Lake Havasu, the Colorado River reservoir created by Parker Dam, with low-rise development following its waterfront. Across the water, the Mohave Mountains give this part of western Arizona a rugged desert outline. The city developed as a planned community after industrialist Robert P. McCulloch acquired the site in the 1960s. London Bridge became its lasting emblem and spans Bridgewater Channel. Boating and paddling are central to life on the bay, while the surrounding basin places the city firmly within the Colorado River desert.

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.
