About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This lone burial is located about half a mile up the canyon from Negro Brown Ranch. The location is in sight of Pelton Dam in the area of the former town of Vanora (historical site). This is in the center of Section 7 off Highway 26. A range fire in 1941 apparently destroyed the marker, but the site is believed to be marked by a pile of rocks.

In the spring of 1885, "Whistling Smith" was found frozen to death here and was buried at the spot where he was found.
