Oakland Hill Cemetery Origin of name: unknown Location: about 1.8 miles west of FM 2144 and about .4 miles north of the point at which the West Navidad River joins the East Navidad River, reachable only by an unnamed unpaved road Comments: Gary E. McKee visited the cemetery in November 2006 and made these remarks: According to Butch Strunk, the site was originally used as a slave cemetery by Augustus B. Wooldridge. The cemetery was accessed from Oakland by a road along the Navidad River until a crossing was washed out. This cemetery was then abandoned, and the Oakland Cemetery used by the black community. The site is on a promontory and contains many different types of markers. There are probably many more than 50 burials.
