Location: Fortney Cemetery is in the middle of strip mining south of Central City. The original directions said to go out Stringtown Road to reach the cemetery, but it now appears that that route is blocked by the mining.
According to Kentucky Department of Transportation Local Roads map, Kentucky Route 1081 (Stringtown Road) would take you to both Stewart Cemetery and Fortney Cemetery. But the easiest access to the cemeteries may be the mine entrance off US Route 62 West about ½ mile west of Walmart Supercenter.
