Surprise Valley sits at the dramatic meeting point of high-desert basins and the steep eastern face of the Warner Mountains. The settlement of Cedarville serves as the focal point of the area, situated between the arid expanse of Middle Alkali Lake and the dense timber of the Modoc National Forest. This landscape is defined by its verticality, where drainage systems like Cedar Cr and Daniels Cr carve through deep ravines such as Cooks Canyon and Shingle Canyon as they flow toward the valley floor. Researchers will find a concentrated grid of local streets in the town center, including Bonner St and Center St, while the surrounding rural lands are marked by sites of local heritage like the Cedarville Cem and the Indian Cem. The inclusion of the Cedarville Airport and a network of county roads reflects the ongoing utility of this remote northern California corridor.
