Name Edit

When the Southern Pacific Railroad extension was built from Dunsmuir, California to the state line in 1886–87, the station was named for S.S. Montague, chief engineer of the Central Pacific Railroad.[4]

Geography Edit

Montague is located at 41°43′38″N 122°31′35″W / 41.72722°N 122.52639°W / 41.72722; -122.52639 (41.727168, -122.526468).[5]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.8 square miles (4.6 km2), 99.15% of it land and 0.85% of it water.

Located 6 miles east of Interstate 5 at Yreka along California State Route 3, this is also the site of the interchange between the Yreka Western Railroad and the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad. General aviation is served at Montague Airport, which also serves Yreka.

Climate Edit

Montague has a Mediterranean climate closely bordering on a steppe climate, very unusual for its location west of the Cascade Crest. Montague and the Shasta Valley are located in a rain shadow created by the Klamath Mountains, giving the area a climate and vegetation type more similar to points east of the Cascades, with average annual precipitation similar to Bend, Oregon. Rainfall is nonexistent in summer, except for the very occasional thunderstorm. The area experiences cool to cold winters with somewhat frequent snowfall, and hot summers with large diurnal temperature variation and nearly constant sunshine.
