2023 Map of Bodines

About this map

Lycoming Creek carves a deep valley through this corner of the Allegheny Plateau, where the small settlements of Bodines and Marsh Hill have long served as local anchors. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including Burnetts Ridge and Sullivan Mountain, with drainage from Pleasant Stream and Slacks Run feeding the main creek. For those researching local family history, several small burial grounds are documented, such as Apker Cem and Pennsdale Cem near the northern valley, and Beech Valley Cem further south toward Calvert. The high ground reveals a mix of forested terrain and isolated clearings like Logue Field, while the eastern portion of the map shows the winding route of Wallis Run RD connecting Kellyburg to the neighboring valleys. This modern data illustrates how traditional rural footprints persist within the steep topography of the Pennsylvania wilds.
