Maynard Cemetery was relocated to intersection of State Hwy 101 and Baxter CR 806 in the 1940's

This cemetery is referred to alternately as the Maynard Cemetery and the Maynard Bend Cemetery (as currently signed). It is located on State Highway 101 North in the Gamaliel area, at the intersection of Baxter CR 806. The cemetery is located on the West side of the highway, and is identified by a sign. The cemetery was moved to this location from the banks of the North Fork River when the Norfork Dam was being built in the 1940's. The Reed Cemetery was also relocated to this cemetery, as was the Cockrums Cemetery No. 1 according to the Baxter County Cemetery Book. Burials date from the late 1800's. The cemetery is infrequently used, but still considered active and well cared for.
