Cottonwood

Cottonwood sits along Cottonwood Creek in California’s northern Sacramento Valley, where irrigated farmland meets oak-covered foothills. The creek is part of the Sacramento River watershed, linking this small Shasta County community to the valley’s principal river system. Cottonwood developed as a 19th-century stage stop, and its historic district retains a compact reminder of that early settlement era. Today, Interstate 5 runs beside town, while rural roads lead through ranchland and agricultural country toward the surrounding hills.
