At first look there appeared to be about 35 interments in the Marquez Cemetery. A local resident estimated there were at least 100. Most residents are descendants of families that traveled from Seboyeta to settle the area. Most markers on the S half of the cemetery were missing when we visited in May 2020 and little evidence of any graves at all. About one-third of the cemetery had Iris plants growing.
County Road 1 will get you to within a mile of the town, on a maintained gravel road. You should have a topographic map or GPS to find the cemetery. The roads are narrow. There is no parking area near the cemetery. The cemetery is in the shape of a triangle and covers about an acre. Entrance thru a barbed wire fence gate is on the E side near the N tip of the triangle. Recent interments are well maintained, and the resident said that relatives are often improving the graves.
