Mine a Breton Creek
Mine a Breton Creek is a stream in Washington County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Mineral Fork.
The stream headwaters arise at 37°53′07″N 90°47′22″W / 37.88528°N 90.78944°W south of Potosi and its confluence with the Fourche a Renault at 38°01′44″N 90°51′12″W / 38.02889°N 90.85333°W forms the Mineral Fork.[1][2][3]
Mine a Breton Creek took its name from a nearby mine of the same name, which in turn has the name of Francois Azor dit Breton, a pioneer citizen.[4]
