The cemetery is irregular in shape and wraps around the Russian Orthodox Cemetery. It is located on a high bank above Douglas Highway which slopes steeply upward. A large white cross about 20 feet high dominates the site. Most grave markers and family plots are located at the top of the slope with numerous depressions evident below. Markers are wood, concrete, and stone with many in ruins. Historic photos indicate a fence once surrounded the cemetery. No evidence of the fence remains.

The Catholic Cemetery is located between the Odd Fellows and Native cemeteries. A stand of Spruce trees lies between the Catholic and Odd Fellows cemeteries and there is a small drainage ditch separating the Catholic and Native cemeteries. The Catholic Cemetery slopes gently up hill from a service road to the base of a condominium housing development. A large white cross is centered at the top of the cemetery (this has fallen over). Most of the identifiable burial sites are toward the top of the slope. There are two burial sites at the lower end between the service road and Douglas Highway.

The earliest burial date identified was of H. P. Carroll, October 2, 1912. The most recent date is June 6, 1995 when the ashes of Kathleen Mary McCormick was placed at the family plot.

The grave markers in the Catholic Cemetery are a mixture of upright and flat granite either engraved of featuring a brass plaque. A couple of wooden markers remain but are deteriorating badly. The family plots feature low concrete boundary walls. The newer markers all lie flat.
