could use it.
Hope it's helpful.

Not sure if everyone is aware of this site

Pick Your State
Pick Your Feature Type (cemetery) and click on Send Query
For a list of cemeteries in the state.
You can also narrow it down to the county.
It also can draw a map for each one if the server is up.
Other feature types: church, poplatedplace, bay, lake, stream, cape, swamp,
forest,
school, airport, locale, tower, trail, park, reserve, hospital, island, and
townships/cities are the civil feature type to name the more common type.
I found hidden towns that were not shown on certain maps and found
more than one relocated cemetery of some church that did not make it.
Enjoy. Michael Andrews - Minnesota
