2012 Map of Bunker

About this map

Bunker and its western extension, West Bunker, anchor this portion of the eastern Ozarks, serving as a hub for a network of rural roads including State Hwy P and Cemetery Rd. The landscape is deeply etched by watercourses like the Bee Fork, Big Creek, and the winding Adair Creek, which flows toward Number 51 Lake. To the south, Turner Natural Bridge offers a distinct geological landmark near the banks of Big Creek, not far from the Turner Cemetery. This 2012 survey illustrates a region where small settlements like Melton and Lily Farm are tucked between hollows such as Ottawa Hollow and Jayhawker Hollow. For those studying the area's social geography, the placement of the Estep Cemetery and Parks Cemetery along the ridges above Toms Creek provides essential context for local family history and the distribution of early hill-country communities.
