From the intersection of Highways 66 and 99, travel north on 99 1-3/4 miles to CR850. Turn west on 850 to CR3540 (Ozark Trail Road), then north two miles. A sign on the west side of the road reads "BLACK CEMETERY". Travel west on a gravel drive, and the metal entrance gate shows "VICKREY CEMETERY". There are about 236 burials here, fifteen of them in the Vickrey family.
The cemetery is flat, treeless, and well kept. The headstones read back to the 1890's, up to the present.
