MT. ZION CEMETERY (BATESVILLE)
There are two Mt. Zion Cemeteries in Independence County; this one,
and one near Newark. This one is located on Mt. Zion Road east of
Batesville, AR. Travelling west (toward Batesville) on Hwy 25 (White
Drive), go about 1/2 mile past the Hwy 233 junction and turn right
onto Reed-Wade Road. About 1/5 mile down the road, two other roads
intersect with Reed-Weed, while Reed-Wade makes a sharp left turn.
Follow the turn and about another 1/5 mile, Mt. Zion Road (a gravel
road) intersects with Reed-Wade Road on your right. The cemetery is
not quite 1/10 of a mile down Mt. Zion Road. Note: Reed-Wade Road
doubles around and comes out on Hwy 25, so if you miss the first turn
off, you can take the second. Just follow Reed-Wade until you see the
(Mt. Zion) gravel road.
