Cedarview, Utah
Cedarview is a scattered community, located in Duchesne County, along the Neola Highway, halfway between Roosevelt and Neola. Cedarview shares connections with Crescent, Montwell and Monarch. Cedarview was once a fledgling town with stores, blacksmith shops, two schools, a post office, a creamery and a ward house. It's named for the juniper-covered hills it overlooks.

Cedarview is located about six miles north of Roosevelt and the same distance south of Neola. Cedarview's proximity to Roosevelt is one reason the once-promising town faded away. The buildings from the old townsite are gone, but the townsite is commemorated by a roadside sign west of the Cedarview turnoff.
