This may be the last vestige of the town of Iona, which is today a small rural community of maybe fifty people. Despite some vandalism, the cemetery is well-maintained -- note the donation box at the gate, with a number to call if you've contributed -- with a few modern "2.0" markers to replace/complement funeral home signs or other primitive headstones. There is otherwise no signage beyond what is on the main gate.
