Mohrland, Utah "was a coalmining town three miles south of Hiawatha on upper Cedar Creek. The four leading organizers of the town were Mays, Orem, Heiner, and Rice. The town name is a combination of the first initials of their names with land added to the end. In 1938 the mines were shut down and the town was abandoned." <ref>John W. Van Cott, ''Utah Place Names: A Comprehensive Guide To the Origins of Geographic Names'' (Salt Lake City: University of Utah Press, 1990), 254.</ref> | Mohrland, Utah "was a coalmining town three miles south of Hiawatha on upper Cedar Creek.
