The military abandoned this site in May 1866. The Hindman family homesteaded the area in 1870's and in 1880 the first documented burial took place. In 1942 the heirs of the estate of Martha Alice Olson, also known as Martha A. Hindman, released the land for cemetery purposes to Thelma Roberts, trustee for Camp Polk Cemetery. The cemetery is located at Township 14, Range 10, Section 27. The cemetery is located about 3 miles north of Sisters, Oregon off Camp Polk Road. At the east end of Sisters, turn north on Locust St. which becomes Camp Polk Rd. Proceed north on Camp Polk Rd. which makes a right turn about 3 miles from Sisters. After the right turn take the first left turn which is Cemetery Rd. (approximately .4 miles). On Cemetery Rd. keep to the right up a small hill and down a dip and you will come to the cemetery gate.
