2018 Map of Bunker Hill

About this map

Bassfield and the neighboring community of Bunker Hill anchor this rural landscape in the piney woods of Southern Mississippi. The terrain is defined by a dense network of country roads named for local families, such as Wiley Dyess Rd and T W Bass Rd, indicating a history of generational landholding. The survey captures a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Old Bassfield Cem and Thompson Chapel Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in this part of Jefferson Davis County. Numerous creeks, including Holiday Cr and Pierce Cr, wind through the topography, reflecting a landscape that remains largely defined by its natural drainage patterns and agricultural roots rather than industrial development. The boundary between Jefferson Davis Co and Marion Co bisects the southern portion of the sheet, providing a precise record of late 20th-century geopolitical lines.
