Big Flat Cemetery

Big Flat Cemetery was located 5 miles west of Hereford on former Highway 7
then 3-1/4 miles north from the highway, between Unity & Hereford. Located
at junction of the north fork of the Burnt River and China Creek, site of
Audrey, a former post office.
Dr. Ulysses Grant Strieby homesteaded the land and donated approximately
two acres for the cemetery. He also gave land about 400 feet south of the
cemetery for a school, known as Big Flat School District No. 37.
The cemetery is in open sagebrush country. It is fenced with unpainted
boards, is not maintained but does not need much care. There are 3 adults
and 4 children buried here with 5 named.
