Cedar Springs is a spring located southeast of Scossa and southwest of Antelope Springs.
Cedar Springs Pass was one of the first passes on the Applegate-Lassen Trail after the trail departed Lassen Meadows.
Davis writes:
- "The overland travel through the county in the early days followed the course of the Humboldt River to a point known as "Lassen Meadows," from the residence there of a man named Lassen, who afterward moved to California and from whom the Lassen County of that State is named. This place was on the river, about four miles west of Humboldt House. Here the overland route divided, the main travel going across the river to the West, out through the Cedar Springs Pass to the Black Rock Desert, through Susanville and the Beckwith Pass in the Sierras, to the gold fields of California."[1]
Modern maps show the pass as "Antelope Summit".
A teamster named Bellew was killed near Cedar Springs Station in 1865.
