Located about 16 kilometres west of Lithgow and 45 kilometres east of Bathurst, it sits along the Great Western Highway corridor in a cool upland landscape. With a population of around 94 residents, Sodwalls is one of the quietest communities in the Central Tablelands.

The surrounding countryside consists of grazing land and native bush typical of the tablelands region, with cold winters and crisp summers characteristic of the altitude.
