From the stop light at the corner of Court Street and North Mississippi Avenue in Atoka, go north 1.4 miles and turn west. Go west 1/2 mile, turn north .08 mile, and then back west. Continue on this road until you reach the Coal Creek Indian Church, then turn left and go 1 mile. Turn left again, and continue straight ahead, past the section line which turns to the right. The road develops into a lane, but you continue on it until you reach the burial site on the left. The site is under no fence and is in deplorable condition, over grown with grass and underbrush, making it very difficult to canvass. It was canvassed on April 9, 1983 by Gwen Walker, Janice Allen, and Evelyn Youngblood, and on that date contained 17 identified graves, and an estimated 20 to 25 unidentified ones. Because of the condition of the site, an accurate count of the unidentified graves was impossible. © 2002 Ruth Adams |
