Resistivity data from the Burroughs Cemetery and Vicinity. Two areas of high resistance are located in the northwesternmost portion of the grid and are probably associated with a structure that is present in a 1937/8 aerial photograph. A third area of high resistance is associated with the cemetery at the south end of the grid. A fourth high resistance area is located in the central section of the grid and may represent a geological feature. A linear low resistance anomaly in the southwest corner of the grid may represent a trail or farm lane.
