The cemetery is located behind the former Parkland Health Facility (the building no longer there). Also known as Parkland Cemetery, Asylum Cemetery, Poor Farm Cemetery & Potters Field. There are more than 1000 graves in this cemetery. No grave markers are visible above ground, all surviving markers seem to be universal, concrete blocks w/ numbers painted on them. These markers are all horizontal/flat & below the surface, covered by many years of nature & neglect. There is no known map showing plot placements or general layout for this cemetery.

The cemetery is located approximately three quarter of a mile west of the intersection of County Roads E & Z. Then look to the north, at the back of the first field and you will see the cemetery monument in the distance. The road that once led to the gate has long since overgrown. Turn south on Lyman Lake Rd which is almost directly under the bigger power lines to park. You will have to walk from there.

This cemetery and the previous facility are/were actually within the city limits of Superior, not Parkland.
