2017 Map of Bunker

About this map

The settlement of Bunker anchors this Ozark landscape, situated at the junction of several rural routes including State HWY P and State HWY A. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, such as Red Hill Hollow and Jayhawker Hollow, which feed into major waterways like the West Fork Black River and Bee Fork. This survey documents a deeply wooded region largely encompassed by the Mark Twain National Forest, where local history is preserved in family and community burial grounds including Parks Cem, Estep Cem, and Bunker Cem. Notable geological and hydrological features are scattered throughout the hills, from the distinct Turner Natural Bridge in the south to Ray Davis Lake in the north. The winding path of Toms Creek Rd and Mines Rd reflects the topographical constraints of a region defined by its numerous creeks and steep ridges.
