Most of the time, Find a Grave is a very valuable tool in locating final resting places. However, the user-driven database is not without its errors. The GPS coordinates for McLean’s memorial led me astray by more than 1,700 feet, as the crow flies. The red pin in this screenshot shows where Find a Grave indicated the SCOTUS justice’s grave was, and the blue circle shows its actual location, in section 99. Google Maps led me to the right spot on my second try, and I updated McLean’s Find a Grave memorial with the correct coordinates. Each visit to a historic site or grave is an adventure.
