The First Mt Zion Church and Cemetery is located 0.2 miles from the Conecuh/Butler county line and the community is served by the McKenzie postal zone (which is in Butler County). The community is also known as Mixonville, however that name is not recognized by Alabama maps.

The cemetery is 0.5 miles off the main CR-29 highway. When visiting the area keep on CR-29 (either traveling north or south), and at the First Zion Road street marker turn west onto the packed clay and gravel road. The cemetery will be on the left and is clearly seen on a slope with a tall brick and iron gate at roadside. There is a semi-circular drive through the cemetery which allows for easy access parking. The cemetery is on a beautiful cleared hillside and the grave sites are scattered throughout.

If driving on I-65 either north or south leave the Interstate at Exit 101 (Owassa). Travel north on CR-30 until the road divides. The left is a continuance of CR-30 and right is CR-29. Stay on CR-29 until you reach the First Mt. Zion church at some 12 miles distance. There will be no markers designating the community, but when you reach the intersection of CR-29 and CR-33, stay on CR-29 for about ½ mile and the church will be on the right. If leaving Monroe County the road will be on the right and the church will be on the left. The First Mt Zion Road is a few hundred feet beyond the church. If turning onto CR-33 when the roadway divides you will be in Butler County - staying on CR-29 will take you into Monroe County.
