The cemetery was completely photographed on August 18, 2017. A number of graves are not identified in any way. The local cemetery board has a map of the cemetery which shows the location of all graves, both marked and unmarked. They also have a list of all known burials in the cemetery. The town of Pitkin has a current population of 69. During the town's heyday when nearby mines were active in the late 1800's, the town's population was close to 2,000. Many of the graves were those of miners and their families. In many cases, only the first names or nicknames were known. A recent Eagle Scout project placed new markers on many of the graves.
