A substantial portion of the southern Klamath Mountain range lies in western Siskiyou County. The range covers the area from the County line with Del Norte county eastward to the Shasta Valley in the center of the county. Major rivers coursing the range include the Klamath, Salmon, Scott and Shasta river systems, with all ultimately draining into the Klamath River.
