The cemetery is at the NE corner of the large pasture just to the east of the The Place ranch entrance. It is between the highway and a grove of trees bordering the creek bed about a tenth of a mile along the fence between The Place and the next property to the east.

In 2018, this cemetery is maintained by the “Cemetery Restoration Volunteers” as one of the abandoned cemeteries maintained on a rotation basis of 19 cemeteries in Williamson County.  The volunteers are under the direction of WCHC’s Cemetery Committee Chair, Joe Plunkett.  In 2019, there are 9 volunteers, using their own equipment.  Donations received by WCHC help to defray costs of restoring tombstones.
