California stretches along the Pacific coast of the western United States, bordering Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico. Its varied geography includes a long coastline, fertile valleys, high mountains, deserts, rivers, and lakes.

California is home to some of the largest cities in the United States. Los Angeles dominates Southern California, while San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose are major centers around San Francisco Bay. San Diego lies near the Mexican border, and Sacramento is the state capital.

The Sierra Nevada rises along the eastern side of California's Central Valley and includes Yosemite and the area around Lake Tahoe. Farther southeast lies Death Valley, known for its extreme heat and very low elevations. The Colorado River forms much of California's border with Arizona, while the Salton Sea lies in the desert of Southern California.

This interactive map covers important cities, rivers, lakes, mountains, neighboring states, and natural landmarks of California. Learning their locations provides a broad introduction to the geography of the Golden State.
