2012 Map of Lowry

About this map

Lowry serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape in Walworth County, situated along the intersection of Main St and Mcgilvery Ave. The settlement is defined by a strictly surveyed grid of section roads, including 143rd St and E Lowry Rd, which facilitate movement through the agricultural terrain. To the south of the main cluster of homes, Lowry Cem provides a genealogical touchstone for families of this rural community. The hydrology of the area is dominated by the winding course of Swan Cr, which meanders through the northwest before the land opens up to the significant waters of Swan Lake in the east. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistent importance of the township and range system in South Dakota, where named avenues like 312th Ave and 314th Ave dictate the structure of the rural economy.
