To reach this cemetery from Interstate Hwy I-5, take the Clackamas Exit 12A southbound or Exit 12 northbound and go east on Hwy 224. Follow Hwy 224 approximately 16 miles, turn east on SE Wildcat Mtn Drive. Follow the road approximately 3 miles. Crane Road intersects on the left. Turn right onto an unnamed road and follow a wooded lane about 500 feet to the end to visit the cemetery.

The Gibson Cemetery is located on land donated by James Gibson and designated to be used as a public cemetery. Mr Gibson is buried here. It is located in T3S R4E sec 3 Lot 800 and became part of the Estacada Cemetery Association in 1967 and is maintained by that tax supported organization. It contains 1 acre. It is also known as the Douglass Cemetery.

This cemetery was read in September 2006. Information was obtained from tombstones, Clackamas County Family History Society, family records and genealogy websites. A complete inventory including tombstone photos and family photos where available has been undertaken with the help of a grant from the Oregon Historic Cemetery Commission.
