Directions - from the corner of S. 193rd E. Ave. (County Line Road) 
and E. 141st St. S. (Yazzo St.), go east about 1/3 mile and turn 
left on River Ridge Road. The cemetery will be on the right between 
the fourth and fifth houses from 141st St. There is a chain link fence 
with a locked gate on the west side of the cemetery, but you can 
walk to the back and there is no fence. The best time to visit is in 
winter, as the cemetery is abandoned.

Rows in general run north and south.
