Driving directions (from downtown Cortland, NY):
Drive South on Route 13 from the city of Cortland; from the point where Route 13 intersects Route 281, continue South approximately 0.5 miles toward the town of Dryden; the cemetery is located directly across from the super Wal-Mart (under construction as of Nov. 2009). Note: Just past the cemetery, on the left, is the intersection of Route 13 and South Cortland/Virgil Road; this intersection marks the center of what was once called "South Cortland" (duration, roughly 1800-1930) -- at one time featuring nearly two dozen houses, a small house worship, and (according to French's 1860 Gazetteer, page 252) "161 inhabitants."

The map of the cemetery itself is below, developed by SUNY Cortland students Natalie Fernandes and Jeremy Wright as part of their Final Project for anthropologist/professor Kristina Killgrove, PhD candidate, UNC, Chapel Hill, when she taught in the Spring of 2008 at SUNY Cortland). The map indicates the placement of headstones, footstones, and trees in the cemetery (to download the map, click here). More information Ms. Kilgrove's assigned project can be found at her "Bone Girl" blog.
