From the south the hill Bile (Grozdac, Samograd, for Krš), from the southwest the hill Voštica (the name comes from the Old Slavic river Voštok which means east). From the west of Pavlova Jela (named after the harambaša Pavle Milanović who was killed and hanged by the Turks)

History
The Serb families Bojanić, then Ivanišević and Matković from Montenegro began to settle here at the beginning, and the Croat ones at the end of the 18th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, emigration began to Mostar, then to Bosnia, Slavonia, and further to the United States. During the Second World War, a large number of Serbs were killed by the Ustashas. After the Second World War, emigration took place: Serbs throughout Vojvodina, and Croats mostly to Slavonia and Srem.
In the late fifties, Bogodol became a victim of rural-urban migration. The elementary school built in 1950 was closed in the 1980s.
The remaining Serbs were forcibly evicted in the last Bosnian war.
Demographics
According to the 2013 census, its population was 148, all Croats.[1]
