The cemetery sits on private land in the unincorporated town of Overall, Virginia in Page County. The cemetery was originally called Overall Graveyard, then Overall Cemetery, and is now known by Compton Cemetery. There is no signage marking the cemetery, but the boundaries are defined with a 128' x 103' barb-wire fenced. The area was reportedly cleared of thick, shoulder-high overgrowth of brush and trees in 2004, but the cemetery is now (2019) overgrown and appears to be unmaintained. At present, the farmland that the cemetery is on is used to raise llamas, and they roam freely about the property. There is no clear or marked route to access the cemetery.

The cemetery contains unmarked graves, non-inscribed limestone markers, inscribed small slab markers predating 1864, and inscribed "monument" type markers dated late 1800s, some as late as the 1920s. The cemetery is listed in the National Register of Historic Places DHR File No. 93-5023 as "Contributing Historic Resource C12, Overall Cemetery".
