Henson Cemetery is in much better condition after work was done by a group of volunteers in early December, 2021. The cemetery lies on fairly flat ground, but is surrounded by moderate rolling terrain. It appears to be in the shape of an hourglass and is estimated to be .5 to .75 acre. Burials are noticeable at both the north and south ends of the hourglass shape. Burials are not noticeable in the narrow center portion of the hourglass. There are an estimated 20 large, unmarked indentations scattered throughout the cemetery grounds which appear to be burial sites. There are an estimated 5-8 graves marked by non-engraved rocks. The entire cemetery grounds are covered by what appears to be a wild vinca vine.
