Description

The former community is located just off (west) of Utah State Route 121, about midway between Roosevelt and Neola. There is a cemetery in the former community, that operated until 1936; many babies who died of pneumonia are buried there. A few locals from nearby towns are preserving the cemetery from natural threats like erosion.{{google maps|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cedarview+Cemetery/@40.3705938,-110.040095,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x874fbc131b75051f:0xa243803e4c383cbf!8m2!3d40.3705897!4d-110.037901|title=Cedarview Cemetery|accessdate=2022-12-10}}{{cite web|url=https://ubmedia.biz/news/28955/cedarview-cemetery-is-a-utah-legacy/|title=Cedarview Cemetery Is a Utah Legacy|website=ubmedia.biz|date=2001-03-12|accessdate=2022-11-24}}
