2012 Map of Breese

About this map

Breese and its surrounding Clinton County agricultural corridor are defined by a network of family-owned dairy farms and religious landmarks. The map documents numerous working operations such as the Jansen Dairy Farm, Maue Farms, and Bruns Dairy Farm, illustrating the region's enduring dairy industry. Central to these small communities are their parish grounds and burial sites, including Saint Dominic Cem and Saint John Cem in Breese, as well as Saint Boniface Cem in Germantown. The Southern railroad line cuts through the landscape, connecting Aviston and Albers, where the Tri-County Feed Mill stands as a testament to the local agricultural economy. To the south, Heimanns Levee and the winding course of Shoal Creek mark the natural drainage patterns of the prairie before it reaches Damiansville.
