2015 Map of Durand

About this map

The village of Durand sits at the heart of this agricultural region where northern Illinois meets the Wisconsin state line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Otter Cr, which is fed by the N Br Otter Cr and S Br Otter Cr before moving east. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, ranging from the central Durand Cem and Saint Marys Cem to more remote sites like Hanford Cem and Hulse Cem. Small-scale aviation is represented by private facilities such as the Flying Z Ranch Airport and Mc Cartney Airport. To the south, the terrain slopes toward the Pecatonica River and the tributary waters of Hungry Run and Pink Cr. The map preserves a network of rural roads that often follow original land section lines, connecting the Illinois town to neighboring Rock County across the border.
