How to Use This Lowry, Minnesota Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lowry, Minnesota. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Minnesota or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Lowry.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Lowry stretches across the expansive, level plains of western Minnesota, where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed by anything but the silhouettes of grain elevators and distant farmsteads. It lies 14.2 miles south-southwest of Alexandria, MN (from Alexandria, MN: bearing 209°T), and is situated 7.3 miles west-northwest of Glenwood. The landscape surrounding Lowry is defined by the subtle persistence of the prairie, punctuated by the quiet, marshy corridors of County Ditch Number Seven which slices through the fields just a mile from the center. Only ten miles away, the modest elevation of Lookout Mountain offers a rare break in the topography, though the true character of the land is found in the stillness of Diamond Lake two miles to the west, where the water mirrors the shifting, pale clouds of the upper Midwest. In the autumn, the air turns crisp and carries the scent of harvested corn and dry earth, a cooling influence that settles over the Pope County Waterfowl Production Area and turns the tall grasses into a sea of muted gold.

Lowry grew from the necessity of the rail line and the abundance of the surrounding soil, establishing a steady rhythm dictated by the cycles of planting and harvest. The economy remains anchored to the agricultural traditions that first drew settlers to these fertile plains, with the local grain elevators serving as the primary landmarks of a working landscape. Life in Lowry moves with a deliberate, unadorned grace, where the work of the day is often punctuated by the long, low whistle of a train or the sudden, rhythmic clatter of machinery in the fields. While the seasons bring long, deep winters that pull the population inward, the community maintains a quiet resilience, tethered to the land and the simple, enduring patterns of a life lived in harmony with the changing light.
