The terrain in the west and south of the locality is mountainous, rising to unnamed peaks and ridges at 480 metres (1,570 ft) above sea level as part of the Fahey Range and the House Mountain Range. [3] [4] The mountainous terrain is mostly undeveloped. [5]

Cedar Creek (the watercourse) rises in neighbouring Mount Glorious to the west and flows through the locality of Cedar Creek, exiting to Closeburn to the east. The valley created by the creek is lower-lying flatter land ranging from 160 to 90 metres (520 to 300 ft) above sea level as the creek descends from west to east. The valley floor is used for a mixture of rural residential housing and farming (predominantly grazing on native vegetation with some perennial horticulture). [5]

Access into the locality of Cedar Creek is mostly via Cedar Creek Road from Closeburn with some parts of the north of the locality accessed via Herron Road also from Closeburn and a small area in the south-east of the locality accessed via Mayfield Road from neighbouring Samford Valley. [5]
