About this map

Durand and the surrounding township lands of t6n r4e and t7n r4e are defined by a complex network of agricultural drainage and small watercourses on the border of Shiawassee and Genesee counties. The landscape transitions from the residential streets of Durand and Lennon into a grid of rural roads such as Lansing Rd and S Durand Rd. Significant genealogical sites are distributed throughout the area, including Yerian Cem, Chalker Cem, and Saint Joseph Cem.

Water management is a central feature of this terrain, with dozens of named channels like Misteguay Cr, Lennon Drain, and Mikan Drain engineered to navigate the low-lying fields. Small unincorporated settlements like Duffield and the northern edge of Gaines provide focal points for local history research, while Waite Field serves as a distinct aviation landmark in the southern section of the quadrangle.
