Maricopa: KER-33-AT RTE 166
Formed around a Southern Pacific railroad station, Maricopa developed into a small Kern County community at the junction of State Routes 33 and 166. It stands on the southwestern side of the San Joaquin Valley, near the foothills of the Temblor Range, where broad open ground meets low, dry hills. Route 166 provides an east–west link across California’s interior, while Route 33 follows the valley’s western side and connects Maricopa with neighboring oil-country communities. The surrounding area has long been shaped by petroleum production, agriculture and road transport. Rather than a dense urban center, Maricopa is defined by its highway crossroads, scattered services and the expansive terrain of western Kern County.

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.
