How to Use This Durand, Michigan Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Durand, Michigan. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Durand.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Durand marks the intersection of the flat, heavy-soiled plains of mid-Michigan, where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed under a vast, pale sky. It lies 11.4 miles east-southeast of Owosso, MI (from Owosso, MI: bearing 121°T), and is situated 8.4 miles west-southwest of Swartz Creek. The land around Durand stays quiet and steady, defined by the gentle, persistent movement of Threemile Creek as it winds through the fields, and the nearby presence of Leisure Lake, which offers a still reflection of the changing seasons. Within the center of the landscape, Fitch Park provides a modest, green anchor where the local grass holds the morning dew long after the sun has climbed high. The air here carries the scent of turned earth and ripening corn, a reminder that the character of the soil dictates the slow, deliberate pace of the days.

Durand grew from the singular, iron-willed ambition of the railroad, which once turned a quiet crossroads into a bustling junction of steam and steel. The legacy of those tracks remains the town’s primary architectural spine, even as the economy has shifted away from the heavy demands of transit toward a quieter, local focus. In the shadow of the old depot, one can still sense the echoes of a period when the town acted as a vital pulse for travelers and freight alike, drawing people from every direction to its busy platforms. Today, the rhythm of Durand is defined by its residents who maintain the brick storefronts and tidy homes, honoring a history built on movement while embracing the stillness of the modern, inland landscape.

About This Durand Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Durand, Michigan. Coordinates: 42.911975, -83.984684. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Durand includes the ZIP code (48429), telephone area code (248), county seat of Shiawassee County (Corunna), and school district assignment (Durand Area Schools).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
