This family cemetery is located west of Carysbrook, approximately 0.9 miles southeast of the end of Little Mountain Road (Rt. 682). There are at least 75 unmarked graves.

An alternate (shorter) path is to start on Carys Creek Road (Rt. 672) at coordinates 37.796649, -78.260202. There is the beginning of a logging road to the north that is a shorter walk to the cemetery. The road is rutted dirt and probably not drivable even for the typical four wheel drive pickup, and there is a locked cable across the road. This road goes through a pine tree farm (in 2021). You walk downhill until you reach Able Creek, ford the stream, and walk uphill to a fork in the road. Take the left fork and walk uphill to the cemetery. The total one way distance is 2700 feet so the round trip is a little over 1 mile. As can be seen on satellite maps (in 2021) the cemetery is in a grove of deciduous trees surrounded by pine trees. The dirt road continues north through the pine tree farm to Little Mountain Road.

The graves are in the northern half of this area. There are the inscribed commercial markers shown here, many unmarked pieces of slate, some hand inscribed pieces of slate with initials scratched in the top (not the face), and more depression graves with no markers of any kind.
