Identification notes
What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone, captured as a full phone screenshot of an English Wikipedia article: a green municipal boundary sign reading "VILLAGE OF BULL VALLEY" on a flat overcast day, flanked below by two smaller signs, one setting a maximum littering fine and one requiring a solicitors permit, with bare winter scrub behind. Browser chrome and the search field are retained in frame. Bull Valley is a real municipality in Illinois; the sign marks a public boundary and pins no private address. The underlying photograph is a third-party contribution to Wikipedia — its author and licence terms were not resolved before accession, so no attribution or reuse licence is asserted here.
