Cemetery is well maintained and has a white fence around it. In 1967 J. Robert Swank noted, "This is the only family cemetery we found that was started after 1900." In 2003 Debbie Hilbert noted, "East of Rawley Springs on US 33 west, in Central District, Rockingham County, Virginia. A perpetual none exclusive easement of right-of-way from the south side of US 33, 20 feet in width and lying ten feet on either side of the centerline as shown on the aforesaid plat. The cemetery is enclosed by trees and white vinyl fence on a hill."
