1970 Map of Bunker Hill

About this map

Bassfield and Bunker Hill anchor this rural landscape in the early 1970s, where the headwaters of the West Fork Greens Creek and Holiday Creek define the local topography. The map reveals a community structured around its spiritual and memorial sites, including Friendship Ch, Shorts Chapel, and the Old Bassfield Cem. Across the Jefferson Davis Co Marion Co boundary, the land is marked by numerous Gravel Pits and a prominent Pipeline corridor, signaling the area's mid-century industrial utility. For those tracking family history, the distribution of small burial grounds like Allen Cem and Randle Cem provides essential locations for genealogical research. The presence of the Greens Creek Lookout Tower underscores the significance of forest management and fire observation in this timbered region of southern Mississippi.
