St. Mark 6: 46 And when He had taken leave of them, He went off to the mountain to pray.

I cannot recall the geography of the area Bethsaida.

Are there mountains (“oros”) ?

Are there hills?

Or, is this the mountain of God’s home (Psalm 43: 3"…And bring me to your Holy Mountain, to the place of your dwelling")?
 
Here is a link that gives the geography of Bethsaida. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida

It agrees with what St. Bede says concerning the geography being desert.

St. Bede says: But it 126 is with reason that we wonder how Mark says, that after the miracle of the loaves the disciples crossed the sea of Bethsaida, when Luke relates that the miracle was done in the parts of Bethsaida Luke 9:10], unless we understand that Luke means by the desert which is Bethsaida not the country immediately around the town, but the desert places belonging to it. But when Mark says that they should “go before unto Bethsaida,” the town itself is meant.
