2015 Map of Durant

About this map

Durant stands at the triple junction of Cedar, Scott, and Muscatine Counties, serving as a primary settlement hub in this agricultural landscape. The township structure is clearly defined by a grid of rural roads like Union Ave and Vermont Ave, which surround family-centered landmarks such as Doran Cem and Melpine Cem. This survey illustrates the high density of drainage systems essential to Iowa's farming economy, with Big Elkhorn Cr and Little Elkhorn Cr threading through the northern sections while Little Mosquito Cr and Pine Cr dominate the south. The proximity of the Durant Cem to the town's eastern edge provides a clear reference point for genealogical research, while the various creek branches like Mud Cr highlight the natural topography that influenced early property lines and road placements across the county borders.
