Baxter Cemetery is a small family cemetery located on Cash
Canyon Road in the Lookout Valley area of Chattanooga. The cemetery is separated
by a creek that flows down Elder Mountain to the Tennessee River. The remains of
an old water wheel, once used to generate electricity for the owner of the
property, still graces the cemetery.
From downtown
Chattanooga, take Interstate 24 west and exit at Brown's Ferry. Turn right on
Brown's Ferry Rd. and go 1.8 miles to Boydston Road. Turn left on Boydston road
and right on O'Grady Drive. Go 4.8 miles on O'Grady Dr, which becomes Cash
Canyon Road. A narrow dirt road curving off the right hand side of Cash
Canyon Road marks the entrance to the cemetery.
