Located in the median of Rancho Santa Fe Road just north of Meadowlark Ranch Road.

Originally the location of this cemetery was on the east side of Rancho Santa Fe Road where it was marked by two white wooden crosses within a 20 x 20 foot low wooden fence. When nearby construction of a new housing development required the widening of Rancho Santa Fe Road, the City of San Marcos met with the descendants and offered to move the graves to a large cemetery. The descendants rejected the offer - they did not want the graves moved, nor did they want them paved over. The City of San Marcos accomplished this by widening the road enough to create a median which encompasses the graves, which were covered by a large concrete slab for protection.
