The Florida Cemetery is several miles east of Durango.  It has been 
previously known as the Florida Mesa Cemetery, and before that as 
the Hood Cemetery.  Just inside the gate is a small, well kept 
building where visitors can view a map and cemetery records.  
The cemetery is located by a little church at the intersection of 
La Plata County Road 223 & County Road 228.
