The front part of the cemetery is mowed and accessible. In general the front part appears to be more recent burials. The back part of the cemetery is covered in tall grass and briars and appears to have many depressions and rocks marking earlier burials. It it difficult to determine the number of unmarked graves in the back part.
Numbers on the map correspond to numbered graves and their locations. Arrows indicate the order of the grave numbering.
Graves numbered 200 or higher have been added since the original survey and are believed to be somewhere in the cemetery.
