It is located on a small hilltop overlooking the Antelope Valley Freeway. Access to this sight is obtained by going west on Soledad Canyon Road from Sand Canyon Road to Lost Canyon Road. Turn left on Lost Canyon and proceed under the freeway to a Tee in the road. Turn left and proceed to the end of the pavement. The road proceeds up the hill but is not accessible except by motor cycle, 4 wheel drive, or walking. The last time I visited this cemetery before I made these photos was in about 1965. At that time, it had some large tombstones and some sunken in grave sights. All the large tombstones are now gone and I did not see any sunken graves. The chain link fence was not in existence in 1965. Some of the Mitchell family must have built it. This transcription was completed and the pictures taken on September 10, 2004. This is a transcription and photos of all the tombstones in the cemetery. The cemetery was started by the Mitchell family in the 1st part of the 1900s. My friend, Johnny Mitchell, who was part of the Mitchell family, told me about this cemetery and that his grandfather was buried here. We never discussed it again. He was buried in a nearby cemetery in the pioneer section.
