Chavez Cemetery #1

From Raymondville, traveling south on Hwy 77, just south of Raymondville take CR 490 west. Continue on CR 490 past CR 1425 (4 way intersection and blinking light) approximately 1.5 miles from the 490/1425 intersections. The CR going north/south off of CR 490 are mostly marked, and most are caliche roads. The road to turn south on to reach Chavez #1 is not marked with a CR sign (guessing by other signs the road should be CR 105), but is marked with a small sign with green printing “Chavez Cemetery”. Turn south on this road for 1.1 miles and the cemetery will be on the east side.
