The cemetery is located 1/4 mile south of the intersection of B 3/4 
Road and 26 3/8 Roads  (the entrance to the Department of Energy). 
It is on the East Side of the road, and is surrounded by a barbed 
wire fence, that has a small break for an entrance.  There is a 
large wooden plaque in the south west corner of the cemetery that is 
visible from the road. The little cemetery is in bad condition, full 
of tumbleweeds and anthills. It is obvious there has been no 
attendance for years.   

These photographs represent all the marked graves in the cemetery.
