This cemetery is on the south side of Route M-72 at Ranch Road, in the Barker Creek area, Rapid City, Michigan.

This is a small Catholic Cemetery that was established in 1883. It is often called the Barker Creek Cemetery.

I walked and read all existing and legible stones and markers in Oct and Nov of 2011.
