Jackson Idaho, at one time was a small farming community close to the Minidoka Dam. Pioneers who settled in this area and who died were buried in this cemetery. Over time some of the graves were moved to the Rupert, Minidoka Acequia Rupert Cemetery (MAR) in Minidoka County, Rupert, Idaho.
The Jackson Cemetery is hard to find and locate, if you do not have adequate directions. Most of the local farmers or folks living close by, can give directions to this cemetery.
A large wooden "cross" was constructed by volunteers and placed within the cemetery to mark the location, hoping that the cemetery could be seen from the canal bank.
Travel East from the town of Rupert, Idaho on E. Baseline Road (which is still considered the old US Hwy 30 going to Pocatello, Idaho) until you reach the 600 East Road, then turn left (North) which will be a gravel road. When you come to your first canal bank (which is 100 North) go directly over the canal and make a sharp right-hand turn onto a very narrow gravel canal road. Follow this canal road and bank for about a mile. The Jackson Cemetery is to your left in the middle of a plowed dirt farmer's field, and is very hard to see, especially if it is overgrown with weeds.
An indication of just where the cemetery is located will be some huge Lombard Popular trees, with a slight turn-off. Right there by the trees is a small rusted, steel "stile" at the North end of the fence, in which you will walk up over, then across the farmer's field to reach the cemetery.
