About this map

The small settlement of Lowry serves as the focal point of this rural prairie landscape, positioned along the intersection of local routes like CR-242 and 143rd ST. This area of Walworth County is defined by a sparse but organized grid of section lines and gravel roads, reflecting a late-twentieth-century agrarian pattern that remains remarkably consistent into the modern era. The Lowry Cem is located just west of the town site, providing a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this corner of South Dakota.

Water features define the local topography, particularly the drainage of Swan Cr, which meanders eastward toward the significant expanse of Swan Lake. The landscape is etched with precise ten-foot contour intervals, illustrating the subtle rises and depressions typical of the Missouri Plateau. This 2015 survey details the enduring boundaries of townships T122N and T121N, preserving the legal and physical framework of the region's land use.
