This cemetery is located northeast of Rapid City in the Rural Municipality of Oakview on land donated by Robert McArthur (1832-1903). The cemetery is owned by the municipality but it is surrounded by private land and landowner permission is required to visit it. Heavily overgrown, several graves have been disinterred and moved to the Rapid City Cemetery.
