It is located off State Hiway 71 at West Point 0.85 mile south of the highway on a private road called Justice Road. The site appears to be about 2 acres in size and is bounded by a barbed wire and cedar post fence with a gate at the SE corner. It is covered with brush and saplings.The full report with maps is available in the cemetery files of the Fayette Heritage Museum and Archives.
