Driving directions: If you are not familiar with this area of the county, I would advise getting someone to go with you. The area is very isolated and the roads are bad in wet weather. The road leading to the cemetery is a logging road about 2 1/2 miles from the Nevada-Ouachita county line on County Road No. 179 (commonly called Frogshack Road). Turn right on to the logging road and travel northeast for about 1/2 mile. You will have crossed a small gas line which is hard to see. Just after the road turns straight east, turn left on to another dimmer logging road and travel north about 3/4ths of a mile. After crossing a large gas line, a logging road leads to the right, but you should not take it. The road you are on will pass through the cut over area and gradually get dimmer. About 1/4 mile past the gas line a trail will lead off to the right. Park and walk from here to the cemetery. A large pine tree stands near the cemetery and a large hardwood tree is further east.
Rogers Cemetery
This cemetery is in a very remote area. It is a small cemetery surrounded by an old fence. The timber around it was cut several years ago and the land is growing up in brush, briars, and young pine trees.Driving directions: If you are not familiar with this area of the county, I would advise getting someone to go with you.
