Every Place/Location in the Bible

Is there a way to search for every "place/location" mentioned in the Bible? Like Assyria in Gen 2:14, Gen 10:11, Gen 25:18; Cush in Gen 2:13. etc,. Is this something that can be done in L5 "Clause Search"? maybe?

Any help will be appreciated!

Thank you!

Is there a way to search for every "place/location" mentioned in the Bible?

Not that I know of. The Clause search does not permit wildcard searches which is essentially what you are asking for. Locations are definitely tagged, but I don't know how you'd get a list of all of them.

Louw-Nida lists all locations in the New Testament. There is not a similar resource for the OT.

If this can be done it is either super-simple and I am over-thinking it, or it is complex (as I think) and someone who can design searches better than I will have to help.

Obviously Logos has internally a database of pretty much every place/location mentioned in the Bible, for use in the Biblical Places tool (which has been merged with Biblical People and Things and now Events in the new Biblical Facts tool in Logos 5). But alas, they have not given us a way to browse this database. I wish they would! I'd love to just scroll through a list of all the people or places they have in that dataset and see what's there, and perhaps what's missing that I should suggest to them.

There are some geographic resources that have indexes of places mentioned in the Bible. For example, the index at the end of the Holman Bible Atlas (though unfortunately that index mixes people and places and you'll have to sort out the difference yourself), or the Archaeological Encyclopedia of the Holy Land, or (best, IMHO) the Geographical Dictionary and Index at the end of the Zondervan Atlas of the Bible starting on p. 273 (to 303). Here's an image of an excerpt from that:

Thank you both, for your help!
