The border of Jersey and Macoupin counties defines this landscape of small agricultural settlements and recreational water bodies during the mid-2010s. The village of Brighton serves as a primary hub, while the smaller community of Piasa is situated further north along the county line. The region is notable for its high density of small burial grounds, including Saint Alphonsus, Asbury, and Trible, which offer significant value for genealogical research.
