Beaver Creek Baptist Cemetery, now inactive, is located in T3N R3W NENE14 on the south side of Emerald Road, to the west of Flat Branch Road.  The property is now owned by Wheatfield Township.  It covers a city block sized area with burials dotted around the area.   It was probably almost overgrown in the summer. There are probably many burials here with no stones in eyesight.  Leaves and weeds and briars could be hiding fallen stones.  Those that are remaining in view are mostly in poor shape.

There is a rusted 38” wide, 74” long, 36” high fenced and gated area towards the middle.  A probe felt no stones in there.  There are now young trees, planted by Nature, growing inside the fenced area.

S/w means Shares stone with.  We did not see any reference to veterans.
