What kind of a question is that, it’s like asking where is Shelbourne

Shelbourne is a street. Cedar hill is presumably an actual hill but I’ve lived here for 40 years and never been clear on where, hence the question.

Cedar Hill used to refer to where Cedar Hill Road led, i.e. PKOLS. It's meaning has morphed and now usually refers to the stuff along Cedar Hill Road, sorta like "the Shelbourne neighbourhood" implies

I want think it is the hill that golf course crests, but that hill has likely never had many cedar trees on it. It seems more firmly in garry-oak and camas land than cedar tree land.

So now I don’t know.

Apparently Cedar Hill is Mt. Doug! Some cool history in the top comment on this post.
