Boise County - Brownlee Cemetery

Six miles west of Gardena across the river;
or northeast from Sweet on Brownlee Road, on the ridge, about a mile or so inside the Boise County line. The area was named "Brownlee" because it was on the Brownlee Trail from the Brownlee Ferry in Hells Canyon to the mining camps in Boise Basin.
