Keene: SR-58 : Broome Road
The Tehachapi Mountains define the setting of Keene — dry, rolling slopes and open scrubland give this small Kern County community a distinctly inland California character. Keene lies near Tehachapi Pass, a long-used route between the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert; today, State Route 58 carries much of that cross-mountain movement. Roads and rail lines thread the foothills alongside ranch land and scattered homes. Keene is also home to the César E. Chávez National Monument at La Paz, the former headquarters of the United Farm Workers and the burial place of César Chávez. That history gives this dispersed settlement an important place in the story of American farm labor.

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.
