It is a map feature, but it is located on private property and difficult to access. The cemetery is not maintained and is heavily overgrown with vines, yaupon, and poison ivy. Two adjacent family plots, Shaw and Monzingo, are fully fenced. However, sections of the fence are damaged or missing. There are also several marked and unmarked graves outside the fence area. Recent plowing threatens the unfenced graves.
