ABSTRACT Cemeteries are deliberately created and highly organized cultural landscapes. Investigation of five Oregon cemeteries, and casual observations in Utah, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and New York, has led to the conclusion that cemeteries have undergone the same general spatial and architectural evolution as the American scene, and that they may in fact be miniaturizations and idealizations of larger American settlement patterns.
