About this map

Cedarville serves as the focal point of this northeastern California survey, situated at the edge of the Surprise Valley and the eastern base of the Warner Mountains. The settlement pattern reflects the area's transition from high-elevation timber and watershed in the Modoc National Forest to the arid basin floor. The proximity of the Cedarville Rancheria and the local Cem near the town center highlights the community's established history.

The landscape is defined by the drainage network descending from the peaks, including Cedar Creek and South Deep Creek, which flow toward the expansive Middle Alkali Lake. Industrial markers like the Borrow Pits and the infrastructure of the Cedarville Airport suggest the local economy's reliance on resource extraction and regional connectivity. This record captures the precise interface between the mountain canyons and the valley's distinct alkali lake environment.
