[1] Blossom Hill Cemetery is about 61 acres (25 ha) in size, with a roughly trapezoidal shape on the west side of North State Street, about 0.2 miles (0.32 km) north of the commercial downtown area of the city.

The terrain generally slopes upward toward the west, with the oldest developed portions of the cemetery at its highest points.

The circulating pattern consists of winding paved and gravel roads, laid out to follow contours of the terrain, and grassy paths between the rows of gravesites.

The cemetery is the final resting place of city and state leaders, including four governors.

[3] Calvary Cemetery occupies 14.4 acres (5.8 ha), immediately adjacent to and north of Blossom Hill.
