Only 6 such counties exist:

Middlesex MA
Norfolk MA
Washtenaw MI
Jackson, IL
Deuel, SD

Landon won Shannon County, SD, (modern day Oglala Lakota County) which McGovern also won.  However, Shannon County was much smaller back then.

What's interesting is that despite both candidates winning a lot of counties in South Dakota, very few were the same counties.

So we have:
- two counties with sheer demographic replacement of WASP by Catholics
- two college counties that used to be traditionally Republican where McGovern rode on the wave of hippie students
- a random place in Lutherania which really liked its native son
- something something it's not clear to me how many and how Native Americans voted in 1936 vs. 1972
