This very old cemetery is located on U. S. Army Corp of Engineers property just below the Norfork Dam along the North Fork River. It is in a narrow patch of woods between the campground and State Highway 177. The cemetery was completely overgrown for decades and uncared for. There is only one marked grave, but there are several other unknown graves marked only with upright field stones. In the spring of 2011, the cemetery was completely cleared, cleaned-up, and a sign erected to mark its location.

According to the Baxter County Cemetery Book entitled "Of Grave Importance", this cemetery was named for the Sales family that had operated a ferry near the present dam site on the river.
