The Mount Calvary cemetery can be reached from Lomas Boulevard, turn north on Edith Blvd and continue to Indian School Road. Here you will see it on the east side of Blvd.
The original (oldest) section is called Santa Barbara and is listed as SB in the burial locations.
The first recorded interment was August 1870. The earliest existing monuments are those of Vicente Otero (1877), Jesusita Baca de Romero (1877) and Diego Armijo (1878).
There are many WOW markers in the older part of the cemetery which is dirt covered with many "goathead" sticker plants. Use care in these areas.
There are approximately 10,000 graves in this cemetery
