Hammond: Three Rivers
Tucked into the Sierra Nevada foothills, Lake Kaweah is a reservoir whose character is shaped by the Kaweah River and the region’s oak-dotted slopes. Formed by Terminus Dam, completed in 1962, it is part of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project designed to reduce flood risk for downstream communities and farmland. Its branching shoreline follows the folds of the foothill terrain, where open grassland and woodland meet the water. The Kaweah River drainage rises eastward toward Sequoia National Park, making the lake a transition point between California’s Central Valley and the higher Sierra. Boating, fishing and day-use areas make Lake Kaweah a well-used recreation site near Hammond.

Hammond occupies a wooded foothill setting in California’s western Sierra Nevada. It lies within the Kaweah River watershed, where the terrain rises from the edge of the San Joaquin Valley toward the high Sierra. The wider southern Sierra is known for giant sequoia groves, including those protected in nearby Sequoia National Park. The Kaweah region is also part of the traditional homeland of Yokuts peoples, whose presence predates modern settlement.

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.
