[ Map of Yates Cemetery ]

From US 60 in Milton take Newman Branch Rd. and go 2.7 miles.  At Golden-Aire Farm turn left onto a small dirt road and cross over a small concrete bridge and go to a green metal barn.  At this barn you will have to park and walk up the small dirt road to the top of the hill.  Cemetery is at the end of the road.  It is fenced and maintained at least once a year.
