Maple Dale Cemetery is owned and maintained by the City of Olney, Illlinois, contains about 600 plots, and may be expanded.(CoOCem) A plot map of the current grounds is available online.(plotmap)

There is a Find A Grave record for the cemetery, which notes 978 interments as of July 2015.(FGrvCem) There is also a Billion Graves record for the cemetery, but it contains only a single interment.(BGrvCem) The Richland County IlGenWeb Project contains a partial manifest of cemetery occupants, but oddly notes that there are 2,122 burial plots, almost four-fold higher than what the Owner's online information states.(CoOCem)(RCIGWMan) This discrepancy might arise from each plot noted by the City of Olney being subdivided for actual burial.

At least one personal genealogy site online has a page dedicated to this cemetery: that of Carl W. Gray, which contains a small number of photographs from the cemetery.(CWG)
