1981 Map of Lowell
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Skunk River winds through a heavily dissected landscape at the border of Henry and Lee Counties, anchoring the small settlement of Lowell. This 1981 edition captures the rural character of southeastern Iowa, where the river's high bluffs and wooded slopes contrast with the orderly grid of the surrounding agricultural townships. To the east, the map shows the recreation-focused terrain of Geode State Park and Geode Lake, while the interior contains several smaller water bodies like Lake Wilderness. For those tracing local heritage, the sheet is an excellent record of early community nodes, identifying numerous burial grounds including Clark Cem, Williamson Cem, and Friends Cem. Small rural centers are further marked by landmarks such as Bethany Ch and Pickle Ch, which stand as focal points in the townships of Baltimore and Pleasant Ridge.
