2018 Map of Durand South

About this map

Durand serves as the focal point for this map, situated where the Chippewa River creates a complex network of wetlands and side channels like Thompson Slough. The landscape south of the city is defined by a rhythmic series of deep coulees and valleys, including Stanley Valley, Fox Valley, and Golden Valley, which are separated by prominent features like Dividing Ridge. This topographical pattern reflects the driftless-style erosion typical of the region, where the uplands remain high and the watercourses have carved significant depth into the terrain.
