County: Jackson
USGS Quad: Sandyville
Coordinates: 38.940909ºN  -81.635197ºW
Maintained by: unknown
Land owner: unknown
Date added to WVCPA register: February 2013
Condition of cemetery**: Excellent (February 2013)
Accessibility: The cemetery is located on the knoll above Drift Run Church on County Road 21 just north of Odaville. The driveway up to the cemetery goes up the hill from the church parking lot, and though short, is fairly steep and rocky... may be difficult to get up the hill with a car in snowy or wet weather due to ice or mud. Dry weather is no problem. There is sufficient level space to turn a car around at the top. The cemetery itself is very steep and uneven in places, so if you're unsure of foot, use caution.

** Condition of cemetery as observed on the given date -
may not be representative of care at other times of the year
Scale: Excellent - Good - Fair - Poor - Abandoned
