    2. Dora, Here is the address for an arial view of Utley or you can search for other places. http://www.terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp?S=12&T=1&X=814&Y=4174&Z=14&W=0 Also, Union Hill IS on my county map in Utley. And it's further than 5 miles from the turn from Bastrop. Colorado Chapel Cemetery is right down the road. There is a cross on my map to indicate a cemetery. Union Hill Cemetery its after you cross the bridge in Hemphill Prairie (after Cnty Rd 1209 or Blue Flame Rd). If you come from Austin on Hwy 71 east you can take 1209 or Blue Flame to the left, past the Walker-Watson Cemetery (in the woods to right so you won't see it) and it will get you to 969. Once there take a left, go over the bridge. County Rd 65 is to the left and if I remember right the road on my map to the right, isn't there. This is where that cemetery is. I believe there is a turf farm there now. Some workers stated there was a cemetry in the woods but I wasn't going in there. This could be the Wilbarger cemetery as there is a marker on the road the family put down that states their graves were moved (to the state cemetery?). I tried taking some of the roads to the left off of 969 but didn't find any cemeteries in the Utley area. There is also a red brick church to the left on 969. There is a plaque that states several acres of land was donated by the Rogers family to the Af Amer community. The gate is always locked so I don't know if there is a cemetery behind this church. It may seem a long way but the State Library is only about 30 miles from Utley. Take Martin Luther King east. It becomes 969 after the light at 973. Then you go about 20 miles and through Webberville to get there. Gas up first. After you go through Webberville, look for a white wooden house on the right in a curve with a small airplane parked there. This is where the movie Michael was filmed. Won't find the Milk Bottle Hotel though as those two bungalows were put there for the film.
