Topographic Map
Cemetery Survey by: Johnny Oakley in May 2004
Plat: This cemetery is shown on plat 11/54-G. The plat was recorded to show a 2.49 acre residential lot but also shows the location of the cemetery (which is not on the residential lot). In addition, this cemetery is shown on plat 12/240 recorded in 1968. This plat shows just the cemetery, but it appears that the cemetery was never created a separate tract by deed.
