2013 Map of Bolivar

About this map

Black Lick and Josephine sit at the northern reaches of this landscape, where the confluence of Blacklick Cr and Two Lick Cr once served as a primary corridor for transportation and industry. The terrain is defined by the massive ridge of Penn View Mountain and Chestnut Ridge, separated by the dramatic Conemaugh Water Gap. This natural pass facilitates the flow of the Conemaugh River, which anchors the southern settlements of Bolivar, West Bolivar, and Robinson. Small industrial and residential enclaves such as McCrea Row and Dixon Row appear alongside larger established communities, indicating the localized settlement patterns typical of the region's mining and milling history. Notable landmarks like the Penn View Lookout Tower and the deep cut of Tannery Hollow highlight the transition from valley floors to the high elevations of Bear Rocks.
