Colton: I-215 : (68) South Of I-10

Colton combines a working Inland Empire character with access to Southern California’s urban corridors in a way that reflects its position beside the Santa Ana River, between Riverside and San Bernardino. Rail lines remain central to the city’s identity: Colton Crossing is a major freight-rail junction where routes once met at grade, a bottleneck rebuilt with a flyover that opened in 2013. The city sits near Interstate 10 and Interstate 215, within the logistics and manufacturing belt east of Los Angeles. The San Bernardino Mountains rise to the north, while nearby Riverside and San Bernardino add to the area’s civic and cultural life.

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.
