When you reach the Montague Co. line, it will be about 5 miles on the right. Turn at Cemetery Sign to the right onto a dirt road that says Berkley Ranch. Follow the road about a mile to Parker Dairy Ranch Road. Follow this road about a mile to New Harp Community Center. It is an old white Church Building. This survey was started at the first gate and all the way to the back of the cemetery working our way up to the very front. This survey was compared to a survey taken by Thelma Rickard in 1988. Some of the markers that were present in 1988 no longer exist as noted.
