Ever use http://maps.google.com ?
Take the latitude and longitude from the www.lat-long.com page.  Go to
maps.google.com. In the 'search' field, enter the latitude and
longitude.  for Alford cemetery, use the one that looks like:  45.00 -123.00
Enter as much of the number the page gives like: 44.31  -123.12861
click search.  
Okay, it's a map just like the map link in the page.  Now, look in the
upper right of the page, there's a link that says 'satellite'.  Click on
that link. Google will display the satellite image of the area.  some
images you can zoom fairly close in.  
maps.google.com is kind of handy, you're able to get a good idea of what
the area looks like.  
If you plugged in the coordinates I supplied, the marker points to the
cemetery itself.  zoom all the way in.  If you look a little ways below, you can see another cemetery on the side road.
