About this map

The village of Durand serves as the focal point of this northern Winnebago County landscape, situated near the winding branches of Otter Cr. The map reveals a deeply rooted agricultural and rural community defined by its numerous family and church burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cem, Durand Cem, and the remote Laona Cem to the north. These sites, along with others like Bethel Church Cem and Oakland Cem, offer significant reference points for genealogists tracing the legacy of local settlers.

Waterways like N Br Otter Cr, S Br Otter Cr, and Hungry Run meander through the terrain toward the Pecatonica River at the southeastern edge of the quadrangle. Transportation is primarily a network of section-line roads such as State Line RD and Yale Bridge RD, while several small landing strips, including Flying Z Ranch Airport and Mc Cartney Airport, indicate a local aviation presence among the farmsteads.
