‘Gibeah in the country’ may possibly identify another Gibeah, which would signify that the children of Israel divided their forces (and thus the enemy), or the description may be of the main highway (going between Bethel and Jerusalem) and the highway that led off towards Gibeah.
But the destruction of twenty five units was easily assessable and the number of men from Gibeah was counted to ensure that they had all been dealt with (a hundred having been sent, the remainder being in the unit left to defend Gibeah).

 Hill of God
Both Ramah and Gibeah were in Benjamin, and so when we're talking Benjamin, we're talking the Holy High Square of Ezekiel 45 and 48...the so-called "sides of the north." Gibeah served as Benjamin's capital city during this war, where all of their 27,000 fighting men gathered (14-15).
