California border

Oregon's southern limit

The boundary separating California from its neighboring states—Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona—or from Mexico.

The term appears frequently in news about immigration enforcement, checkpoints, and border crossings: They were stopped at the California border.

It also comes up in discussions of wildfires, droughts, and other regional issues that don't respect state lines.
