Every City and Township has a Potters Field it's where the poor and homeless are buried . It gets it name from the bible where the Jewish Sanhedrin take the 30 pieces of silver that they paid Judas for Jesus and buy a plot of land to bury foreigners. It is also called Haceldama by the Catholics.

"Potter's Field" is where the unidentified, indigent, unimportant, broke, dead are said to be buried. Probably just the least desireable locations of cemeteries. That would, of course, mean least desireable to the living.

It's not one place. It is the name of a cemetery where they bury people no one claims or who don't have money to bury themselves. Many cities will have them.
