Follow Route 3 for 2.3–2.4 miles to the intersection on the left with Bay View Drive. Turn left onto Bay View Drive, and the cemetery is on the right in less than 0.1 miles.

Property description. The following description of the cemetery boundary is reconstructed from the 16 December 2004 deed (Hancock County Registry of Deeds book 4094, pages 172–177) for the land that abuts the cemetery on three sides—the Bay View Road abuts the fourth side:
   Beginning at an iron fence foot at the southwesterly corner of the cemetery;
   run N 60°44′40″ E 52.78 feet to a #6 rebar set in 1991;
   then N 32°57′25″ W 69.70 feet;
   then S 57°28′25″ W 52.39 feet to an iron fence foot at the northwesterly corner of the cemetery;
   then southerly along the road to the first mentioned bound.

History. —

Notes:
   1. The apparent boundary of the property that contains this cemetery is well marked with iron stakes. Within this boundary a new (2000) natural-wood fence has been erected. A space in the fence allows for entrance/exit. Most low, woody vegetation has been removed. A few stones are standing, but most are propped up or laying on the ground.
   2. Eben M. Hamor’s notes about this cemetery were published in The Bar Harbor Times on Saturday, 20 March 1915 (page 2, column 3). In addition to shedding light as to the “owner” of the “B. P.” footstone (see footnote 4 below), they report a gravestone for a Nicholas Wasgatt that reads “Died Jan. 21, 1863; aged 73 years, 1 month and 3 days.” A search for that stone needs to be made.
