This cemetery is about 4 miles southwest from Lovelock, on the northwest side of Interstate 80. It can be reached from Lovelock by going west on Lone Mountain Road about 3 miles and turning left onto a dirt road, going south about 2 miles.

This cemetery has no real name, but is simply known locally as the "Indian Cemetery". Most, if not all, who are buried here were Native Americans, members of the Paiute tribe. There is a small Indian colony (reservation) on the south side of Lovelock. This cemetery was still in use when I recorded grave marker inscriptions in 1989.

The cemetery is in poor condition. There are very few granite tombstones here. Almost all of the grave markers are wood boards and wood crosses, with carved or painted names and dates, many of which are now illegible. Many grave sites have missing markers or in some cases, there are only fragments of wood markers left.

This transcription doesn't represent all of the people buried in this cemetery. There are many gravesites with missing or illegible markers. This record was compiled in 1989 from all existing grave marker inscriptions.
