This cemetery is located in a very remote area of Patrick 
County, Virginia and is located on property belonging to the 
United States Army Corps of Engineers.  There are multiple 
graves represented by crude field stones.

This cemetery is in a very remote and uninhabited area of 
Patrick County, Virginia. It has been abandoned. This 
cemetery is on land that is owned by the United States Army 
Corps of Engineers.  It is at GPS coordinates 36.80893, 
-80.09522.  Here are the driving AND walking directions.  
From Fairy Stone Park Highway in Patrick County, turn on 
Fairy Stone Lake Highway.  Take the second left on Union 
Bridge Road.  Go for six or seven miles and turn right at 
Union Primitive Baptist Church onto Union Church Road.  Stay 
on this road and as you crest a hill, Will Spencer Road 
turns to your right.  This is a dirt road.  Go to the end of 
the dirt road.  There is a gate to your left and a gate to 
your right.  Take the left gate and you will go through 
another gate.  After you pass that gate, you will see a 
roadbed to the right with another gate.  Go down that road 
bed and remain on that road bed as you go under the American 
Electric Power line and to an open field.  Hug the left side 
of that field right at the woods until you have to enter the 
woods on the left side.  Philpott Reservoir will be down 
below you on the left.  Just keep going with the reservoir, 
and you will walk just under 500 feet in the forest, and the 
cemetery is there.  Again, you can see the reservoir from 
this cemetery. It is about a one-mile walk from the end of 
Will Spencer Road.

Additional Comments:
 This cemetery is "way out" there but quite easy to access.
