This Pike County W.P.A. Cemetery Map collection consists of maps that essentially are original drawings created early in the project with limited handwritten information in the Legend Box that is positioned at the bottom of a map page in the lower right-hand corner.  The map pages are numbered.  

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Unfortunately, only one of these map pages include the names of any of the veterans who were buried at any of the cemeteries in Pike County. 

The page is:

WPA CEMETERY PLAT MAPS - PIKE COUNTY - SEAL TWP - MOUND CEM #2 - SECTIONS A & B & C & D & & L - COL JOHN GUTHERY REV. WAR VET - PAGE 72:

Lt. Col. John Guthery on Find a Grave buried at the top of the mound.

However, many of the maps do show the normal coffin-like symbols in the plot where a veteran was buried. 

Example below.:

Unlike the W.P.A .Cemetery Plat Map pages in other counties, there is only one instance with a map page having mixed townships for the cemeteries.  

Otherwise, it is uniform throughout with only one township name for any number of cemeteries on a page.  

Below is the image of Page 1 that has one cemetery in Camp Creek Township and the remainder of the cemeteries are located in Sunfish Township.:
