Pioneer Cemetery
Humboldt County, Nevada


This cemetery was once a large cemetery but many grave sites were moved to the new Winnemucca cemetery when it became available and increasing so when highway construction crossed the cemetery. What remains is now a relatively small cemetery located on the outskirts of Winnemucca on the right side, east side, of the highway after crossing the river going north on U.S. Highway 95.
