Cedarville and Lake City anchor the western edge of the Surprise Valley, situated at the base of the Warner Mountains within the Modoc National Forest. This 1962 survey reveals a landscape defined by the drainage of numerous canyons, including Lake City Canyon Creek and Cedar Creek, which flow toward the expansive beds of Upper Surprise Lake and Middle Alkali Lake. The presence of Leonards Hot Springs, a Steam Well, and a Radio Facility suggests a region balancing geothermal activity with mid-century infrastructure. A prominent Causeway bisects the alkaline lake beds, linking the main settlements to The Fortynine Road and the Nevada border. Local history is preserved through labels for the Cedarville Cem, the Surprise Valley Union High Sch, and the County Fairgrounds, alongside several family-named outposts like Boyd Spring Ranch and Parman Ranch.
