About location

Few places in Arizona have a history as closely tied to river transport and dam building as Bullhead City. The community began as Hardyville, a Colorado River steamboat landing that served mining districts in the 1860s. Its modern growth accelerated with construction of Davis Dam, whose reservoir is Lake Mohave. The city takes its present name from Bull’s Head Rock, a riverside formation submerged when the reservoir filled. Today Bullhead City extends along the Arizona bank opposite Laughlin, Nevada; the Laughlin Bridge and State Route 95 make this a busy cross-river connection in the Mojave 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.
