| | Shasta Valley, Shasta River - Montague, California |
 | | Shasta Valley, a 340-square-mile basin drained by Shasta River, is located in Siskiyou County. |
 | | A flat, arid plain north of Mount Shasta, the valley is punctuated by hundreds of hills, ridges, and small closed depressions (not connected by surface streams). |
 | | Melting snow from Mount Shasta does not contribute significantly to surface flows in the upper Shasta River because run-off sinks into the porous volcanic slopes and reappears from springs on the Shasta Valley. |
