Less than two miles north of Napton or 3 miles south of Highway 41 on Route E, (1/2 mile north of 911-named 195th road), then 1/2 mile east. Route E defines the west boundary line of Section 26, T50, R20. A private lane turns east toward the cemetery but the cemetery lies another approx. 1,500 feet east.
The 1896 Saline County plat map shows the Camp Creek African Baptist Church in Township 50N, Range 20 W, Section 26. The church was on the south section line in the middle of the line and on the southeast corner of 15 acres then owned by C. Perry. The church and cemetery were just south of where Camp Creek turns to angle northeast. Several African Americans owned small acreages adjoining or nearby. These include George Talton, Williams, D. Everet, E. Esters, P. Wright.
An African School is shown on the plat map a half mile west of the church in the extreme southwest corner of Section 26 against the west and south section lines on property owned by A. Murrell in 1896. This was George A. Murrell, the person for whom the library at Missouri Valley College was named, not an African American.
A large spring on Camp Creek provided fresh water. A coal mine on 25 acres owned by S. H. Green less than one mile due west of the church could have provided employment for the small African American community in the Camp Creek area. There was also a tile works 2 1/2 miles northeast with a clay mine east of the church.
Because this church and community were the product of late 19th century settlement and faded in the early 20th century with death certificates mandated starting in 1910, it is doubtful that most of the burials here will ever be known.
Cemeteries are exempt from taxes, and the Saline County Reassessment office records their locations. The office map shows the exempt cemetery area as approximately 150 feet east to west and 550 feet north to south.
