Bunkerville

Bunkerville is a small town in Nevada known mainly for the 2014 conflict between rancher Cliven Bundy and the U.S. government. Bundy had grazed cattle on public lands without paying fees, leading to a tense standoff when authorities attempted to seize his cattle. The situation drew national attention, highlighting issues around land use and federal authority. Apart from this event, Bunkerville is a quiet community with a rural character, surrounded by desert landscape, and is part of Clark County.
