The cemetery is threatened by vandalism, neglect, erosion, and development. It is not a map feature and is partly fenced. Many of the headstones have fallen or are damaged. There are also numerous unmarked graves and grave depressions. A small drainage flows along the western boundary and appears to be actively eroding the western portion of the cemetery. The cemetery is overgrown, and vegetation obscures many of the graves. At least one grave plot had an ornamental woven wire fence, which is now gone.
