The western and part of the northern boundary of Cedar Grove follows the Logan River. On the river on the northern boundary is the Cedar Grove Weir. The Mount Lindesay Highway loosely forms the eastern boundary of the locality.
The eastern edge of the locality and the west of the locality are used for agriculture, a mixture of grazing on native vegetation and crop growing. A strip through the centre of the locality between the eastern and western agricultural areas is residential.
