It was one of the oldest settlements in Plumas County. It was in the midst of a grazing valley. Chilcoot is located 54-miles southeast of Quincy, and 28-miles northwest of Reno, NV, on Propect Road, off of Hwy. 70 (approximately .7 mile from the center of Chilcoot). This cemetery was originally surveyed by Tim I. Purdy in 1979. As of the most recent survey, many of the stones that Mr. Purdy was able to survey no longer exist. The cemetery stands in disrepair, and seems largely forgotten. Earliest death year: 1865 Latest death year: 2003 Name Date of Birth Date of Death Markings/Notes Adams, A.
