Lat rows, Lat pulldowns, Upright rows, pull-ups, and (if you have access to it) chopping wood does a pretty good job if you keep proper form.

DEADLIFT! This is the ultimate in back exercise.
Lat rows, pulldowns, upright rows, and pull ups are nice. But if you want a strong, powerful, and more defined back you have to do Deadlifts, first and foremost. Dumbell rows, bent over rows, SLOW shrugs, cleans, and good-mornings are also great back exercises. Look to these free weights to do the most for ya. Good luck!

Pro tip: When building for Power, strength, size, endurance or any combination of the 4; free weights are the most important. only 1 out of every 5 exercises should be machine exercises at the most.

Yes. As in, taking a cord of unchopped wood, grabbing a hefty axe or maul, and while maintaining proper form, splitting it.

I always hear about deadlifts, but are they truly as effective as a workout that incorporates lat pull downs, bent over rows, and upright rows?

Lat pull downs don't target your lower back at all. Bent over rows, as awesome as they are do very little for your lower back. And upright rows do little for your back, or nothing if you use the smith machine.
When not lifting strictly for power, the deadlift is just about the best weapon you have in your arsenal for adding density, strength, and power to your back. Use your quads, hams, and glutes just to get the bar off the ground. use your lower back for most of the lift on the way up, and roll your shoulders back and squeeze just as you approach the pinnacle of the lift. Don't forget to keep all the weight on your heals at all times.
Also, dead lifts require you to rely more on the raw strength in your muscles to lift the weight because it is the only lift that does not allow you to build up elastic energy in your muscles(eg squat, bench press) that is released as soon as you start the upward motion. this "dead lift" in turn awakens dormant muscles fibers more so, than just about any other lift. Remember that even Olympic lifters, strongmen competitors, and other pros NEVER even awaken more than 60-65% of the muscles fiber in their body.
