Maps of California

California is a state located on the West Coast of the United States. It is by far the most populous U.S. state and the third-largest by land area. California's diverse geography ranges from the Pacific Coast at the west side, to the Sierra Nevada mountains in the east—from the Redwood–Douglas-fir forests of the northwest, to the Mojave Desert areas in the southeast.
