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.

The GPS coordinates are right on, and be prepared to open and close three gates. There are sufficient houses nearby that you can find -someone- to ask if it's OK to proceed.
Black Lake Cemetery is in the high country of northern New Mexico. It comprises about three-quarters of an acre. All 17 interments (when we visited in Sep 2020) are well marked and cared for. The cemetery is enclosed with a wire fence. The gate is on the North side. Do not attempt to visit with snow or ice on the ground, as the road is unimproved and hilly for the last half mile, where you'll encounter the three gates.
The 17 interments were made running E-W. Interestingly, you couldn't predict the direction the engravings on the headstones faced, and the interments were in the four corners of the cemetery. If it's warm weather, take some chairs and lunch - it's a lovely setting.
There was no indication if Black Lake Cemetery is associated in any way with San Antonio Church and Cemetery which you'll pass about three-quarters of a mile to the North of Black Lake Cemetery, on your way in, and out.
