2017 Map of Lowry City

About this map

Lowry City sits in the southern portion of this landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural communities of Brownington and Mount Zion. This region of St. Clair and Henry Counties is defined by the expansive fingers of the Harry S Truman Reservoir, which fill the valleys of several tributaries including Big Muddy Cr and Little Otter Cr. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted community infrastructure, with numerous family and town burial grounds such as Lowry City Cem, Brownington Cem, and Park Grove Cem distributed across the high ground between the drainage basins. The varied terrain shifts from the level creek bottoms to localized features like Turkey Hollow and the waters of Ackley Lake. A complex network of county roads and state highways connects these points, following the ridges above the marshy wetlands and shoreline of the reservoir.
