Cemetery Details
Location
Higbee Cemetery
From US 50 in the heart of La Junta, head south on CO 109 (signed for Pritchett and Kim). Roughly twelve miles south of town, look for a dirt road on the right (CR 804)--if you cross the Purgatoire River, you have gone about a mile too far. The cemetery is on the left (south) side of CR 804, about a mile from CO 109.
