-- From Lock Springs, MO, go north on St. Hwy 190 about 6 miles until Otter Av. Turn left (west) on Otter and go 3/4 mile. Otter will come to a T-intersection with 320 St. The cemetery lies 1/4 west of 320 St. The 1993 General Highway Map of Daviess County indicates that at this intersection there is some sort of a path which would be like a private road extension of Otter. This path continues westward, bends to the right (north), then bends to the left (west) ending at the cemetery.

Maintenance Info:
-- Based on an February 2001 visit, Mt. Zion Cemetery has not been cared for. The cemetery has been let to have timber surround it and overtake it. There is no fence around the cemetery.	Needs Help!
