Junland is an unincorporated community in Butler County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1]
The community is at the junction of Missouri routes B (old Route 60) and Z five miles east of Poplar Bluff. It was a station on the Missouri Pacific Railroad. [2]
The shortening and alteration of "jungleland" was descriptive of the condition of the original town site. [3]
On January 29, 2013, an EF2 tornado struck Junland. A small, older, poorly constructed home was leveled, a mobile home was destroyed, and a couple of small structures were blown over. Many trees were snapped along the path. [4]
