2011 Map of Cruz

About this map

Beaver River meanders through this arid landscape of Millard County, providing a critical water source that defines the surrounding settlement and industry. Near the river's path, the small settlement of Cruz serves as a central point in a region shaped by resource extraction and sparse water management. This area is punctuated by remote landmarks such as Bloom Trail Reservoir and natural water sources like Coyote Spring and Black Spring. The presence of the Cudahy Mine in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the historical importance of mining in the Utah desert, where isolated operations were often the primary drivers of local infrastructure and road networks in the early 21st century.
