    3. Leslie, This is what is shown on the USGS map through TopoZone.com. It looks like it could also have been the cemetery of Whiskey Flat, which I'm sure was probably an early village of the area. You're lucky it's shown. 95% our El Dorado County's cemeteries aren't! Here's a USGS topographic map from the TopoZone! http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=10 Most people don't realize that California law provided that title to these old cemeteries vested in the public by way of the codified statutes of 1872. If your county is not claiming it as public land, they're saying it's privately owned and this is not so. If anyone would like further information about these early laws, please contact me direct.
