Roads, houses built on Molokan graves

The "Chrisitian" Cemetery is huge — 1 mile long, by a half mile wide — about 200 acres. Molokans occupy over 40 acres — 8 times the size of the Los Angeles cemetery on Slauson Ave. This cemetery was founded by Molokans and grew to accomodate other Christian faiths. The location of "Road 2" was provided by Katya Karagadayeva.
