Hi Michelle, You can buy them at any big city map store, or order them. Put "USGS maps" without the quotes in to the Google or Yahoo search engine and they will give you dozens of places to buy them, with phone numbers. In the examples given, you would want the Jackson, Ky, quadrangle, 7.5' series. The Breathitt library would likely have a few of the local areas. It's much easier (and free) to go to www.topozone.com , click upper left, type in the coordinates, and a red X will mark the spot. I seem to remember you have to enter the longitude as a -083 since we are west of Greenwich. If you spend a little time with topozone, you will see enough to locate the cemeteries on an ordinary highway map (the Topozone maps are topographical although roads are shown). It's much easier than it sounds. You just need a little practice. This is a powerful tool if you look for places. Hope this helps.

Post Script: The coordinates are in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds, abbreviated D/M/S. This is what you would click on Topozone to type them in.
