This is a large cemetery, located just west of a huge Conoco tank farm. The land is flat and treeless, with paved driveways bisecting it evenly in all directions.
There are currently 12,691 burials here, but don't blink as it's a very active cemetery. We noted one unusual area on the north side, which we have never seen before. The headstones are placed in north-south rows, planted with rows of hedges. (See photo in gallery). A Catholic cemetery is also located within the grounds of this cemetery.
This cemetery is the site of the grave of E. W. Marland, however, we were unable to locate and photograph it. Marland was an early pioneer, who formed the company which became CONOCO. He was the 10th Governor of the State of Oklahoma.
