Les,
     I think your USGS map might just show what you're looking for after all. 
On upper Lake Creek, above the Lake Creek Reservoir, you will find a bluff 
overlooking the creek with a cross and the word "Graves" on the map. This is 
located in T37S R2E in the SW qtr of the SW qtr of Section 8 (42° 21.7' N 122° 
37.1' W at 2630 ft. elevation).

<< Thanks Ann, you had better luck than I did and gave me much narrower search
 range. Interestingly enough when I look closer at the USGS info one of the
 Jackson county hits is on the "lake Creek" quadrangle map and when I go
 there the first thing that pops up is a place name (or named location where
 somebody lives) is Lake Creek.
 
 Unfortunately there is no cememtery shown in Lake Creek the community, and
 it is on Little Butte Creek?? So am guessing historical society Ann mentions
 is best bet.
 
 Must be getting late, I just realized that is the place Ann was talking
 about, the cemetery may be there and just too small to register on topo map.
 I might take a crack at looking at the aerial photos of the area, but doubt
 that a four plot cemetery would show up there.

 I missed the original query.  I believe these are in Jackson County, as I
 found the following listing in
 
 "Jackson County Oregon Cemeteries, vol. 1, published 1984 by the Rogue
 Valley Genealogical Society"
 
 p. 107  "Family Burial Plots and Small Cemeteries'
 
 Bradley Family Plot
 Lake Creek area
 (private)
 
 BRADLEY
    Angeline Terrill                1894
    Lawson              57 years    1875
    Lucinda         16 years    1878
    Luzern (brother of Lawson)  63 years    [blank]
 
 No location is given for this family plot.
 
 However, Lake Creek in Jackson County usually refers to an area east of
 White City off Highway 140.  There's a Lake Creek Loop Road.  Off of it
 going south is the South Fork Little Butte Creek Road.  Off of that is a
 dotted line labeled Lake Creek Road, which nearly parallels Lake Creek.
 
 The Bradleys are in the 1870 Oregon census in Jackson County, with
 Jacksonville listed as the Post Office.  That may not tell much because the
 Jacksonville post office served a large geographic area...
 
 Lawson Bradley, age 50, is the head of household, with his wife Angeline
 43, and 3 children:  Jay 18, Eola 15, and Lucinda 8.  Real Property $200.
 Personal Property $2000.  The previous household is headed by Horace J.
 Terril.  These households are on p. 29.  On p. 35 is
 
 Luzerne Bradley, age 54, farmer, living alone, real property $1500,
 personal property 2500, b. OH
 
 (so there should be land records).
 
 In 1880 Angeline is living with her son-in-law and daughter, Geo. Nichols
 and Eola, in Little Butte Pct, E.D. 50, p. 7.
