The cemetery is located in Pettis County's Blackwater Township at Township 47N, Range 23W, and in the northeast part of Section 2 . The Brown name comes from Brown family ownership with the 1896 plat book showing Dempsey. S. and his brother Henry Clay Brown owning the north half of Section 2. The 1916 plat book shows the northeast quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 2 owned by Nannie Berry, wife of Henry Clay Berry, with the remainder of the north half of Section 2 still owned by D. S. and H. C. Brown.
The cemetery is African American and was used primarily by members of the Harris and Lewis families.
Starting at LaMonte in Pettis County, go North 8 miles on Highway 127 to Higgins Road, then go East 2.5 miles on Higgins Road. The cemetery is a quarter mile east of a residence and in a field.
