While I have never been there it is shown as the Walker Cemetery on the TOPO maps. Going south of Columbia on the Pulaski Pike (Hwy 31) go 7 miles or so to the historic McCains Community. When you get to McCains just continue on the Pulaski Pike another 3/10 mile to Covey Hollow Road on your left. Go on past Covey Hollow Road another 7/10 mile to a farm lane also on your left. Turn left and follow that farm lane up toward the right side of a large round hill. That hill is about 1/4 mile out from Pulaski Pike on your left. The cemetery is 2/10 of a mile up the farm road on the left beginning about 100 feet from the farm road and extending northward. Mr Fred Hawkins gave these instructions back in the late 1980s in the book "Cemeteries of Maury County". Said: "Go south on Pulaski Pike and 1 mile past McCains turn east into a farm lane. There is a locked gate at the beginning of the farm lane. The cemetery is behind a barn about 1/4 mile from the Pike on the John Cothran Place". I don't know about the locked gate or ownership of the place today but the rest is correct. If there is no structures or farm road there today you can find it using the Hill I mentioned above in relation to where you are. Using the instructions after you pass McCains on the Pike look to your left for the round Hill off in the distance about 3/10 mile. Go on past the hill crest another 2/10 mile and from that point you will turn west (left, even if there is no road) and go 2/10 mile. When the same Crest of the mound shaped hill is due north from where you are standing (might even carry your compass for this) you will be standing in the vicinity of the Cemetery. Look for it in a north south line from there. I should say you might be in danger of trespassing though, so you should seek permission from the owner if you can locate them. Good luck. I hope if you get good photos. If you do please consider sharing them with the Maury County Cemetery Web Site. The photo there are low resolution and could be upgraded. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~maury/cemetery/ Wayne Austin
