Looking at online geodesic maps, I see a few cemetery notations in the immediate area.
It looks like CR79 runs a ridge but my mapping program just lists the county road # for it.
These are on county road 79 (west of the interstate) starting from the intersection of it with hwy 11, south of the interstate ramp.
All except the Sylvan Church cemetery are on the right side of this road heading south, and the exact location may vary a bit.
N33.078 W 87.695 A little less than a mile from the intersection with hwy 11
N33.074 W 87.696 about 1500' due south of the previous
N33.070 W 87.699 Sylvan Church cemetery
N33.056 W 87.729 (off the road about 700')
There is a Ridge Top Road and a Water Ridge Road, but these appear to be more recent roads. Tax maps might show the locations better.
