1968 Map of Lowry

About this map

Glacial lakes and wetlands define the landscape surrounding Lowry and Farwell in the late 1960s. The Soo Line railroad cuts diagonally across the prairie, connecting these small agricultural centers and passing alongside numerous water bodies like Diamond Lake and Jorgenson Lake. This era shows a region heavily dedicated to conservation, evidenced by a dense network of state and national management areas including the White Bear State Wildlife Management Area and the Lowry State Wildlife Management Area. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as Norunga Ch and its associated Norunga Ch Cem, alongside the Indherred Ch Cem and Ben Wade Cem. The Little Chippewa River meanders through the central terrain, while Trappers Run marks the landscape near Strandness Lake, reflecting the enduring natural character of Pope County.
