    Pope Cemetery is located west of Eagle Mountain Lake near where Parker County, Tarrant County and Wise County meet. About half way between Boyd and Azle on S Fm Rd 730, turn east on CR 4757. The cemetery is less than a mile on the left. In 2001 there was a locked drive-through gate, but you could get through the fence beside the gate. The cemetery is short walk up a gravel road. There’s a secondary fenced area around the cemetery on the hill. All the grounds were well kept with a pavilion building and a picnic area. Most of the older headstones had been replaced with newer ones.

  

  

  

    In August 2001 we found and photographed 57 headstones. We numbered them in rows from the northwest area to the southeast.
