Buckeye and Deville anchor this portion of central Louisiana, where the landscape transitions from the higher grounds of Little Prairie toward the expansive wetlands of the south. The area is defined by a complex network of waterways, including Horsepen Creek and Big Creek, which feed into the intricate drainage systems of Gainey Bayou and Slash Bayou. These watercourses have historically shaped the settlement patterns and road networks, such as the Big Island Loop circling the elevated Big Island terrain.
