About this map

Durand serves as the focal point for this landscape where the Chippewa River carves along the northwestern corner of the Buffalo and Pepin county line. This modern topographic record captures the transition from the river basin to the complex network of ridges and coulees that define the region's geography. The Chippewa River State Trl, following a former rail grade, runs parallel to the water near the Pepin County Government Center.

Deep valleys such as Stanley Valley, Golden Valley, and Weisenbeck Valley reveal the area's agricultural and drainage patterns, while prominent landforms like Limekiln Bluff and the Dividing Ridge provide significant elevation markers. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Mary's Cem and North Branch Cem, as well as numerous family-named roads like Thibodeau Rd, Wittig Rd, and Anibas Rd that reflect the longstanding settlement of this rural Wisconsin community.
