About this map

The energy-rich landscape of Bienville Parish is defined by the West Bryceland Gas Field and Bear Creek Gas Field, which dominate the northern and eastern reaches of this territory. These industrial landmarks coexist with quiet rural settlements like Pleasant Hill and Sailes, connected by a dense network of local roads including Dock Sneed Rd and Youngblood Dr.

Genealogists will find significance in several burial sites preserved among the piney woods and creek bottoms, such as Mount Lebanon Cem and Williamson Cem. The drainage patterns of Brushy Cr and Kepler Cr navigate a terrain that also supports the Cypress Springs Oil Field and the Sailes Oil Field, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on sub-surface resources in the early twenty-first century.
