About this map

Durant sits at the intersection of Cedar, Scott, and Muscatine Counties, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural landscape in this 2018 survey. The town's grid is well-defined by streets such as 5th St and 8th St, while the outskirts are marked by a transition from residential blocks to an extensive network of country roads like Thayer Ave and Vail Ave. For those researching local families, the map identifies several burial grounds including Durant Cem, Doran Cem, and Melpine Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural sections.

The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems that carve through the Iowa prairie. Big Elkhorn Cr and Little Elkhorn Cr flow through the northern reaches, while Little Mosquito Cr and Pine Cr drain the southern sections. This network of waterways, alongside the prominent Mud Cr, illustrates the natural irrigation and topography that have influenced the development of this three-county corner for generations.
