About this map

Lowry and Farwell anchor this West Central Minnesota landscape, situated amidst a dense network of glacial wetlands and prairie lakes. The intricate course of the Little Chippewa River meanders through the township, feeding into or passing near notable water bodies such as Malmedal Lake, Strandness Lake, and Wollan Lake. The area's agricultural heritage is evident in the systematic drainage provided by County Ditch Number Seven and the numerous section-line roads that crisscross the terrain.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several pioneer-era burial grounds including Farwell Cem, Norunga Cem, Ben Wade Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem. The presence of both the Indherred Church Cem and the Early Indherred Community Cem suggests a long-standing congregational history tied to the surrounding farming communities. These sites, along with landmarks like Trappers Run and Jorgenson Lake, provide a detailed record of the local spatial identity in Pope County.
