From the intersection of FM31 &  FM 2517, take FM2517 to CR467 then on to CR463.   

CR467 is just before you reach Panola Baptist Church and there is a sign for the Scott Cem. at this intersection. CR463 is the first right after passing the S McFadden (large sign on his driveway) home on CR467.  Follow CR463 past the point where the blacktop turns to clay, continuing up a hill in a curve and the cemetery is on the left beside the road. It is fenced with a gate and sign. Impossible to miss, if you go drive far enough.   I did not find it first time as turned around when the blacktop ended.

The cemetery is is used only by a few old families. The Earliest marked grave is Amos Thompson, death date of 1854.

The cemetery is mowed regularly and is well cared for.
