Mt. Zion Cemetery can be located by going west on Highway 56 out of Okmulgee. Follow Highway 56, and you will cross the Deep Fork River a total of three times. After the third time, which is a little over 2 miles outside of Okmulgee City Limits, you will immediately turn right onto unpaved road marked as N. 192 Rd. Follow this road passed a few houses and the cemetery will come up on your right.

There is no sign; the cemetery is not marked in any way. An opening with some visible headstone can be viewed a few feet from the road marking the entrance to the cemetery. It is extremely unkempt and overgrown. Many stones are difficult to reach. Brush and trees have grown all over the field the comprises the cemetery grounds, which is roughly the size of a football field. About 1/4 of it appears to have been mowed in the past few months. There are small mowed portions in the front and back of the cemetery, but you will have to traverse a thicket of brush to reach the opposite end of the cemetery. There is no real trail through. Many graves have sunken into the ground and are lost. Some graves are marked by white plastic poles that have been painted red at the top, apparently to mark graves from the days when the cemetery was kept up and mowed occasionally.

Exercise caution when visiting this cemetery. The uneven and overgrown terrain could lead to injury.
