Cross Roads is a locality at the northern end of the Yorke Peninsula and a satellite village to the town of Moonta on its east.

[4] Land use within Cross Roads is divided between cultural heritage conservation and primary production.

The southern half of the locality is part of a historic site known as the Moonta Mines State Heritage Area where any use and associated built development must meet statutory planning objectives ensuring the promotion, conservation, enhancement and maintenance of the state heritage area's 'historic character and cultural significance'.

The eastern half of the locality is zoned for "agricultural production and the grazing of stock on relatively large holdings.

[12][13] The Wesleyan church had also previously been used as the Cross Roads branch of the Moonta Mines Institute for a period from 1902.
