BUTTE COUNTY CEMETERIES
Berry Creek Cemetery
aka Lake Madrone Cemetery
Photos by © Kathy Sedler, Feb. 2006. More photos of cemetery.
The following list was compiled by Cathie Manwell Adams, © 2006.
Lake Madrone Cemetery is located at the top of a knoll north of a horseshoe bend on the Oroville-Quincy Highway (Highway 162) just northeast of Lake Madrone. Go 4/10 mile after the lake bridge. There will be a sign for school bus stop 400 feet and a left curve in the road. A dirt road on the left goes up an incline. The entrance is not marked. Less than 1/10 of a mile, there will be a residence on the left and the cemetery is directly across from it on the right. This seems to be a private drive and dead ends at the cemetery and residence.
There appear to be approximately 12 graves with no markers (including 5 in the Nottingham plot).
This list was compiled using the following sources:
On site documentation by Kathy Sedler and Colleen Driscoll in February 2005 (including photos). An “X” in the first column indicates a photo was taken.
