This collection of W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps is complete with its Cemetery Index Page, and a 1940 Fayette County Road Map with Legend.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The original .pdf scans are located at the Fayette County Recorder's Office.  They were scanned as individual pages, (Search type “Book / Page”, Book Type “Cemetery Plat").

Thus, some maps do not have their map page number listed on them but the numbers are included in their titles in these .jpg images.

It appears that these W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps were created in 1924 which pre-dates the W.P.A. (Works Progress Administration) era of the 1930s, however, the  "OFFICIAL PROJECT NOS 465-42-3-467 & 665-42-3-232" identification is affiliated with them. 
See excerpts from the Fayette County Genealogical Society's publication below. (I am unsure if it is still available for sale by the society).:

The Evans Cemetery in this publication includes information that it may actually be located in Clinton County.

On the W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Map for the Johnson Cemetery shown as being in Union but possibly Marion Township.:

The following interesting additional information was included that states the "Grave of Elizabeth D. Carr wife of Martin Carr 100' East of Fence Line of cemetery in wheat field."

Fayette County is mostly a rural county with a great number of small family cemeteries that were still in existence 100 years ago that may have vanished by today.

The main purpose of these maps was to document the burial sites of veterans and are companion records to the individual veterans graves registration cards. However, as we see in the collection of these cemetery maps and some in other Ohio counties, there are any number of reasons to reference them. It is good to consider that unexpected hidden gems just might be there awaiting our discovery if we only take those extra steps to uncover them.
