2021 Map of Durand

About this map

Durand serves as the central hub of this northern Illinois landscape, positioned just south of the Wisconsin-Illinois border near the confluence of the Sugar River and several drainage creeks. The village is organized around a traditional street grid including W Main St and E North St, surrounded by an extensive network of rural burial grounds that speak to the area's deep-rooted township history. Genealogists will find a high concentration of cemeteries such as Laona Township Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Fenton Cem distributed across the prairie. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Otter Cr and N Br Otter Cr, which feed into the larger river systems. Beyond the agricultural fields, the map identifies small-scale aviation landmarks like McCartney Airport and the Flying Z Ranch Airport, reflecting the region's mid-continent rural character.
