About this map

Bunker Hill sits within a landscape defined by the Blue Ridge mountains and an intricate network of highland gaps. This 2011 survey documents a region where local geography is marked by family-named heights and clearings, from Queens Mountain in the north to Yellow Mountain in the south. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered homesteads along routes like Jones Creek Rd N and Young Cane Creek Rd, with social life centered around local burial grounds including Philadelphia Cemetery and Dillard Chapel Cemetery.

Water management and recreation appear at George Lake Dam and the Mulky Gap Camping Area, while the northern edge of the sheet captures a portion of Nottely Lake. The map's labeling of numerous gaps, such as Hemptown Gap and Sarvis Gap, indicates a terrain where movement was historically dictated by these natural passes. Researchers will find a high density of geographic detail for Union County, including small drainages like Payne Branch and Sawmill Branch that feed into the larger creek systems.
