Mitchell County, NC - John Gouge Cemetery

                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JOHN GOUGE CEMETERY (POPLAR)

LOCATION:  From the point at which Route 197 leaves the Toe River between 
Huntdale and Relief, drive north 1.2 miles.  Turn left onto a dirt road just 
beyond an abandoned house.  At the same time you will see a residence address 
sign that says "9154" directly across the road from the cemetery access road.  
The cemetery is a few hundred yards up the dirt road; it is visible up on the 
hill while you are still on 197.

The Hughes Cemetery is also visible from the access road, although the road 
does not go to the gate.

ACCESSIBILITY:   Moderate.  Turning around at the cemetery is a bit difficult, 
with the steep banks nearby.

CONDITION:   Good.  A fairly new cemetery.  Nice view, as well.
