About this map

Durant serves as the central hub of this eastern Iowa landscape, situated along the Cedar Scott Co Line during the first decade of the 21st century. The map documents a predominantly agricultural area defined by a network of drainage ways and creeks, including Mud Creek and the headwaters of Pine Creek. The town is well-represented with its local infrastructure, featuring the Durant Post Office and several rural burying grounds that provide significant value for genealogical research.

Rural landmarks like the Doran Cemetery to the west and the Melpine Cemetery to the south mark the historic boundaries of local family homesteads. The water system is particularly detailed, showing the convergence of Little Elkhorn Creek and Big Elkhorn Creek near the northern town limits. This survey illustrates the persistent grid of county roads, such as Co Hwy F58 and Sweetland Rd, which have organized the region's movement and commerce since early settlement.
