2013 Map of Durand South

About this map

The Chippewa River corridor dominates the northwest corner of this landscape, where the confluence with the Eau Galle River and the winding Thompson Slough define the riverine boundary of Durand. Moving south and east from the river, the terrain transitions into a complex of distinct coulees and uplands, characterized by numerous named valleys that suggest a deeply rooted agricultural history. Features such as Stanley Valley, Golden Valley, Owens Valley, and Weisenbeck Valley are tucked between prominent rises like Limekiln Bluff and the central Dividing Ridge. This network of valley floors and ridges is knit together by a grid of rural routes and family-named roads, including E Laneville Ave near the settlement of Laneville and Lindstrom Valley Rd, reflecting the persistent land-use patterns of Pepin County.
