The coat of arms was designed by the architect Humberto Murillo Lozano and approved by the council on 21 December 1989. Description according to Héraldica Municipal de Chihuahua:
Shield resolved over Spanish field, it is checkered or chessed, integrated by 4 sections, its blazons are from top to bottom and left to right: the Temple of Nuestra Señora del Refugio [Our Lady of the Refuge] representing the Catholic religion, the Conchos River crossed by a bundle of ears [of wheat], and a cob of corn represent agriculture, the Stele (the profile of an eagle) marks the passing of the father Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, here the Father of the Fatherland slept here chained to a mesquite tree, in the bordure goes the year of 1582, which makes reference not to the foundation of the population, rather to the passing of the Spaniards. A Christian cross uniting the four sections makes reference to the Catholic religion and to the name of the Municipality; as a complement the shield carries a ribbon cresting it with the original name: El vado [The ford]. Circling the shield goes two bordering objects to the manner of a wreath of branches of Madras thorns.
The border reads "TRABAJO Y CARIÑO PARA CON LA TIERRA" [Work and Care for with the land]. At the top of the bordure is the name "LA CRUZ CHIHUAHUA", with the code 08 to the left for the state and 016 to the right for the municipality; these are codes primarily used by INEGI for statistical purposes.
