Location: From Colorado City go North on Highway 208 for 5.3 miles. Turn left (West) on 1808 and go 9.8 miles to the intersection of RR 1229. Turn right, about 1/2 mile on your left is the Cuthbert Cemetery which sits about 100 yards off the road and is very easy to miss. There are no buildings left of the town, just the cemetery.
