Driskill Mtn stands as a prominent geographic landmark in this corner of Bienville Parish, rising above the winding networks of Saline Bayou and its many tributaries. The settlement of Bryceland serves as a local hub, connected to the smaller community of Pratt and the central drainage of Bear Creek. The landscape is defined by its distinct local topography, featuring Mossy Hill, Jordan Mtn, and Gentry Hill, which break the drainage basins of Choctaw Cr and Sugar Cr. This modern survey details a rural region shaped by timber and oil interests, evidenced by features like El Paso Production A No 1 and various hunting camp roads. Genealogists and local historians can locate established resting places such as Mount Gillard Cem and Holder Cem, which provide historical anchors for the surrounding rural families and crossroads.
