1965 Map of Bodines

About this map

Lycoming Creek carves a deep valley through the high ridges of north-central Pennsylvania, serving as the primary corridor for the Penn Central railroad and settlements like Marsh Hill and Bodines. This mid-1960s landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Tiadaghton State Forest and the rugged topography of McIntyre Mountain and Burnetts Ridge. Evidence of the region’s earlier logging and industrial history is visible in the Old Grade Railroad corridor following Pleasant Stream. In the southern reaches, more established community life is centered around Calvert, where the Beech Valley School and Beech Valley Cemetery represent the local genealogy of rural Lycoming County. Smaller enclaves like Kellyburg and the Church of the Assumption remain connected by winding valley roads and forest trails that navigate the steep hollows feeding into Wallis Run.
