Still hoping to find the "
official" boundaries of Bunker Hill, I began searching...
Eventually, I began to notice that the online photos I found of Bunker Hill were often credited to the

official definition (i.e., used in official documents of the state of California) of the boundaries of Bunker Hill.
In addition, I suspect that the term "Bunker Hill" came to be applied to an entire district of the city
not necessarily bordered by the original real estate plan - much in the same way that "Hollywood" is not contained within the borders of the original Hollywoodland real estate venture -

"atop" Bunker Hill, though I don't know if by this they mean
only the top.
