About this map

Saint Rose anchors this section of Clinton County, where the agricultural grid meets the winding drainage systems of the Central Illinois prairie. The map documents a series of established communities including Jamestown, Sebastopol, and the northern edges of Aviston and Breese. These settlements are linked by a dense network of country roads such as Keyesport Rd and St Rose Rd, which navigate around the natural incisions of Spanker Br and Lake Br.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the quadrangle, with several well-preserved burial sites including Saint Rose Cem, Jamestown Cem, Gullick Cem, and Lake Branch Cem. The landscape is defined by its watercourses, most notably the meandering path of Shoal Creek along the eastern boundary and the headwaters of Locust Fork in the north. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land divisions between Madison, Bond, and Clinton counties.
