Dear Mr. Blease, Dear Ms. Kindel, I read your posting with a bit of interest and decided to look at my set of U.S. geodetic maps that I collected for Screven Co. Looking at the 1978 Dover Quadrangle map I believe that I can see the cemetary that you have been searching for. I will scan in the relevant portion of the map and send it to you as a attachment to an e-mail message. Perhaps you can use a GPS receiver to place yourself at the site of the cemetary. Or, if the old road shown leading to the cemetary is still present then you should be able to walk or ride back to the site. The cemetary appears to lie directly North of Benchmark 104 on the railroad, and about halfway between the gas line cut and the railroad. Otherwise, it is about 3/5ths of the distance from the road leading through Cameron (down towards Henderson Landing) and the road leading down to Evans Landing. I'll scan this map while offline and get back to you with attachment. Dale E.
