Accessibility:	This cemetery is located off Low Gap Road (CR 28) in southeast Putnam County at the site of the New Antioch Church (which burned down a number of years ago). If you drive in from Rt. 34 on Low Gap Road, after about 8/10ths of a mile, turn right (actually it's the first road on the right), and the cemetery will be on your right approximately a quarter mile after you turn. You can continue on this same road, keeping to the right on CR 34/9, and it will bring you back out to Rt. 34 at Confidence. The cemetery is easily accessible with good parking, and a relatively even, well-cared-for lawn for walking. A covered picnic area is located adjacent to the parking lot, if you need a place to sit out of the sun for a while when visiting.
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**
