Durango, IA

united states

Durango is a tiny farming community in eastern Iowa's Dubuque County with just 18 residents. Reach it via Highway 52, then county roads through the rolling Driftless Area hills near the Mississippi River valley. The nearest real town is Cascade, 10 miles northeast, while Dubuque sits 25 miles southeast. This remote agricultural settlement was named after Durango, Colorado, despite sitting among Iowa cornfields rather than mountains.
