About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery is a church yard cemetery. It's located approximately 7 miles SW of Mountainaire, NM, on the SE side of US Highway 60, across the highway from what is known as Abo, NM. Unless you know what to look for and when, you won't see the church roof from US 60. There is no steeple. To find the cemetery, use the GPS coordinates, which will direct you to turn North off US 60 onto Barranca RD. The road turns back the South and proceeds underneath US 60 and the railroad. It's only about 500 feet from the underpass to the gated entrance on the SW corner of the fenced cemetery.

The church and cemetery are well maintained and the fenced enclosure comprises approximately 2 1/2 acres. All the graves are in N-S rows, with inconsistent direction facing of the headstones, either E or W. We hope we took a comprehensive census when we visited in March 2021. There were approximately 155 small crosses, about a foot high, without any decipherable identification of the grave. See the "Unknown" 1-5 listings for examples. The remainder of the Unknown listings we felt compelled to enter because of their size, shape, or markings that might be known to relatives or friends. So, the total census of the cemetery could easily be 450.
