It is located in the valley of Dutchman Flat in the upper part of American Fork Canyon, in the Uinta National Forest.

The American Fork Railroad, which was intended to serve Forest City and the smelter, stopped short of its destination due to engineering difficulties.

[2] They built a smelter at Dutchman Flat called the Sultana Smelting Works, which employed 250–300 men in 1871.

[4] In late 1872, severe winter weather forced operations in American Fork Canyon to shut down for the season.

[7] In order to cover expenses the railroad began taking tourist groups up the canyon on sightseeing trips.

The Miller Hill Mine stopped producing ore by 1874, started up again briefly the next year, then shut down permanently.

[1] The cemetery at Graveyard Flat was preserved for years, but over time people drove snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles over it and even tore down the picket fence surrounding it.

[8] On National Public Lands Day in September 2012, Forest Service employees and volunteers from local four-wheeling clubs gathered at Graveyard Flat, built a new sturdier fence around the graveyard, and replaced the old wooden sign with two newer interpretive signs depicting the history of the town and the cemetery.
