Barstow: I-15 : (612) 3mi N/O Hodge
The Mojave Desert defines the setting of Barstow — wide, arid basins, creosote scrub and low mountain ranges give this California rail and road town its open, hard-edged character. Barstow developed as a railroad centre and remains a major junction on Interstate 15, the principal route between Southern California and Las Vegas; Historic Route 66 also runs through the city. Casa del Desierto, the 1911 Harvey House and railroad depot, recalls the era when passengers paused here for Fred Harvey hospitality. The building now houses the Route 66 Mother Road Museum and the Western America Railroad Museum. Around the city, the Mojave River valley and desert terrain frame a landscape shaped by long-distance travel, freight and military history.

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.

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.
