2018 Map of Durand

About this map

Durand serves as the central hub for this borderlands survey, where the agricultural plains of northern Illinois meet the Wisconsin state line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sugar River and Otter Cr, which feed into the Pecatonica River at the map's southern edge. This 2018 edition reveals a significant concentration of rural burial grounds that speak to the area's long-standing township history, including Laona Township Cem, Hanford Cem, and Oakland Cem. Local aviation is represented by private facilities such as the Flying Z Ranch Airport near the northern boundary and Mc Cartney Airport further south. The map provides a contemporary look at the township's grid of named roads like Yale Bridge Rd and State Line Rd, which bridge the gap between historic family farms and modern land use.
