The cemetery, which overlooks Theodore Roosevelt Lake, is the final resting place of about 75 former residents of the town of Roosevelt. Some were killed in the construction of the dam on the lake.
This route begins off Main Street, crossing the creek and keeping right where the Arizona Trail breaks off on the left.
