I recently received a message regarding the Plankey Plains Cemetery and have additional information for locating this hard to find spot. Plankey Plains Cemetery is also named Woodmore Cemetery. It is located in the Rural Municipality (R.M.) of Franklin in Manitoba, Canada.
The message I received leads me to think that the 28E sign indicated in my directions may be obscured or missing.
I have located a google map and GPS coordinates for Plankey Plains on a site run by the Manitoba Historical Society. CLICK HERE to go the page for Plankey Plains. When the google map is enlarged using the + directive you will will see that the road is also accessible from Provincial Trunk Highway 59 by taking a road just south of Rapids Rd. S. that angles off to the southwest and then curves around.
Here are the coordinates: Site Location (lat/long): N49.14811, W96.83068
On my next trip north I will look for landmarks that I can add to help located the road to Plankey Plains. If anyone reading this has additional helpful information it will be very much appreciated and I will add it to this blog site.

GPS (lat/long): N49.14811, W96.83068 Directions to Plankey Plains, Manitoba Site: From Highway 59 go West on Highway 201 to Road 28E. North on 28E to the Plankey Plains Site. Please be patient with me. I will be adding all of the photographs of the grave markers that I took but as some of the markers are hard to read it is a slow process.
