The graves are located on the prarie off Robidoux Road (also known as Robadeau Pass Road) west of Scotts Bluff National Monument. According to the nearby Roubedeau (the spelling of the name varies) Historical Marker there are the graves of 5 unknown emigrants inside the fence.
The marker in the cemetery is an Oregon Trail Memorial which reads,
"Honoring these and all the thousands who lie in nameless graves along the trail. Faith and courage such as theirs made America. May ours preserve it."
