About this map

Bunch and the surrounding Ozark foothills of Cherokee, Adair, and Sequoyah Counties are defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows. The settlement of Dry Creek sits in the northwest, while the primary community of Bunch is situated along the eastern edge near Sallisaw Creek. The landscape is heavily marked by family and descriptive landmarks, such as Blaylock Mtn, Hastings Hollow, and Rattle Snake Ridge.

Industrial and community life are grounded in the terrain, with a Quarry located on the slopes of Quarry Mtn near the southern border. Genealogists and local historians can find two primary burial sites: Bunch Cem and Flute Springs Cem, the latter tucked into a valley near Sallisaw Cr. The drainage patterns of Terrapin Cr and Elk Cr illustrate how the narrow hollows, like Walkingslick Hollow and Bollin Hollow, dictated the development of early roads and homesteads in this part of Oklahoma.
