    Nope. It's an actual county. The book originated in the Eastern U.S., but the county is in the West. . .

    Would this fictional character be found in the book of Mormon? If so, I think I got it as well.

    Here's another geography trivia question:

    If you start from center city Detroit, Michigan, and head directly due south, what is the first foreign country you come to?
