Located  Northwest of Junction City, Union County, Arkansas.

From Junction City travel north on Hwy. 167, toward El Dorado

for approximately 5 miles turning left (west) onto the old county road #7.

(Road to the right(east) is Caledonia Road.  You will be traveling on county road

#7, which is now currently named “Southfield Rd.”   Continue traveling

north on Southfield Rd., going by Turtle Dove Lane, and once you cross the old railroad tracks, the Cummings cemetery is about 1 mile farther north, off Southfield Rd. to the west in heavy woods.  Former location of the old Cummings Plantation.

There was an adjoining cemetery for the slaves, but none of their graves were marked.  This canvass of the cemetery was done by Lucile Combs Johnson in

1995.  Cemetery is on private land. (2012)
