The Mississippi River forms the southern boundary of this region, shaping the industrial and residential development of Alton and Godfrey. The riverfront features the Alton Ferry Landing and is carved by channels like Brick House Slough around Ellis Island and Dresser Island. Moving inland, the landscape is defined by its deep memorial history, containing several significant burial grounds including the North Alton Confederate Cem and the Alton National Cem, alongside the Lovejoy Memorial Cem.
