Gibsland and the historic community of Mount Lebanon anchor this North Louisiana landscape, where the geography is defined by a dense network of creek systems and local roadways. The terrain is marked by the passage of Black Lake Cr and Leatherman Cr, which weave through the hilly sections of Bienville Parish and Claiborne Parish. Smaller tributaries like Hurried Br and Moccasin Br drain the timberlands between settlements. The map illustrates the junction of regional transport and rural life, featuring family-named locations such as Darley and Phillips. This 2018 survey also records essential genealogical landmarks, including Whitley Cem and Caldwell Cem, providing a precise record of established local history and the enduring road network, from S Main in town to rural routes like Old Arcadia Rd.
