Oak Knoll Cemetery is located ¾ of a mile north of Amador City on Bunker Hill Road near the Fremont and Bunker Hill Mines. You cannot drive to the cemetery, but have to walk about 500 feet along a dirt road. The cemetery is landlocked so respect the property and close the gate after you enter and leave as it is a working cattle ranch. There is a large elbow in the road and the gate is located next to the house on the elbow with the cemetery situated on the hill behind. The cemetery is not marked on the road but the address of the house is 14501 Bunker Hill Rd.

This cemetery was started after the one in town filled up and it was considered "upscale". Joseph Taylor gave the plot of land for the cemetery to Amador City. It was originally known as Taylor's Graveyard. The largest grave site is that of the Taylor family located in the middle of the knoll. The entrance gate has a date of 1905, which could be when the cemetery was given to Amador City. The oldest existing headstone is that of Joseph Phipps, who died in 1870 at age 26 days.

The people buried here died from the hard times; mining accidents, childbirth, and infant diseases.

This is still an active cemetery.
