Article on the history of the cemetery 

From Interstate 10 take 1135 south and after you cross a railroad you won't be far from Jap Lane. 

Turn to the left and it will take you right to the cemetery. It is on a corner.

Can't miss it. 

From Orange, going south, turn off Hwy 87 and turn right on Hwy 105. Go past the Orangefield Elementary School

and you will come to Oilla Road. Turn right. You will go over a canal and follow the road to the left. You will

cross an old railroad and stay on that road. It will come to the cemetery.
