Explore Cedar City, Utah, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cedar City, Utah. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Utah or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Cedar City.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Cedar City emerges from the high desert floor as a place defined by the steady, persistent flow of Coal Creek. It lies 36.9 miles north-northeast of Hurricane, UT (from Hurricane, UT: bearing 20°T), and is situated 6.9 miles south-southwest of Enoch. The Red Hill stands as a silent sentry over the eastern edge, casting long, sharp shadows across the valley as the sun dips low in the afternoon. To the west, the landscape flattens into an expansive, arid basin that stretches toward the horizon, while Quichapa Lake waits seven miles away as a shallow, seasonal presence in the dry earth. Cedar Canyon provides a dramatic gateway where the earth opens wide to reveal layers of ancient sediment, their colors shifting from muted ochre to deep, burnt orange as the day fades. The air here carries a crisp, thin quality, cooling rapidly once the light leaves the sky and settling into a quiet stillness that blankets the town.
Pioneer settlers established Cedar City with an eye toward the extraction of iron, recognizing the mineral wealth locked within the nearby earth. This industrial heritage eventually gave way to a more diverse economy, anchoring the local livelihood in education, regional commerce, and the steady rhythms of agricultural trade. Main Street Park serves as a central gathering point where the pace of daily life remains measured, reflecting a history built on hard labor and communal resilience. Small businesses and professional services now populate the corridors that once supported early mining operations, keeping the spirit of self-reliance alive in the modern era. The town has grown by valuing both its pragmatic roots and the necessity of adapting to the changing needs of the surrounding region.
Cedar City maintains a distinct cultural identity largely shaped by its role as a regional center for the arts and higher education. The presence of Southern Utah University brings a youthful vitality to the streets, frequently filling the local calendar with academic lectures, athletic competitions, and vibrant performances. Notable landmarks like the outdoor theater stages draw audiences from across the country, celebrating the works of Shakespeare in an environment that feels uniquely suited to the craft. The community honors its heritage through seasonal festivals that reflect the endurance of those who first broke this ground. While the town is not defined by the fame of specific individuals, it remains a place where the collective character of the residents is the most enduring feature of the landscape.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
