You can also use Google satellite views to "see" a cemetery once you have
found the coordinates on Topozone.
For example, I found the coordinates of this cemetery in Madison County,
where my ggg-grandfather is supposedly buried.
Grovelawn Cemetery
Anderson South
872 feet
40.010ºN 85.744ºW
Open up Google Maps and instead of typing in a town or address, type or
paste in the coordinates without the degree signs:
40.010N 85.744W
This will take you right to a map view of the cemetery location, and
selecting the satellite view you can even "see" the cemetery.
In some locations you will see street view or pictures.

You can also use this site:
http://libremap.org/
for some features in the counties. Just click on DATA and then just do the
state and county as search terms. I've never had success searching for a
place name with this but the list comes alphabetical by all types of places,
i.e. streams, springs, etc. Some cemeteries are included, in my experience,
but not all.

Topozone is now a
Trails.com PAY SITE but if you ever need
a list of cemeteries by county and the coordinates go here:
http://www.topozone.com/states/Indiana.asp
Sometimes you can use these coordinates in the Google Earth
or Maps program to get your bearings! Bob
