South Star Cemetery

Directions:
From U. S. Hwy 283, eight miles North of Hill City or 10 miles South of Hwy 9 junction, turn West on Y Road and drive 8 miles. The cemetery is at the junction of Y Road and 190 Avenue, on the north side of the road.

From Lenora, drive east out of town on Washington Avenue. After 1 mile, the road will curve to the right (South). Continue driving south for 3 miles. The road will curve to the left (East) for 1/2 mile and then back to the right (South). These are sharp curves, so please maintain a safe speed. The road has crossed into Graham County and is now called 200th Avenue. Continue driving south for 6 more miles to the corner of Y Road. The old South Star School will be on the southeast side of the intersection. Turn right (West) on Y Road and drive for one mile.

From U. S. Hwy 24, turn North on 200th Avenue just west of Penokee. Drive eight miles and turn right (West) on Y Road; go one mile.

Please note: The Google Map below shows the old "county road" numbers rather than the new 911 road names. "Co Road 380" is now Y Road and "Co Road 539" is now 200th Avenue.
