About this map

Lastrup and its surrounding townships in Morrison County reveal a landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and deep-rooted community institutions in this 2013 survey. The settlement pattern is anchored by religious and civic landmarks, notably the Saint Mary's Polish National Catholic Cem and Saint John Nepomucene Catholic Cem, which point to the ethnic heritage of the area's early settlers. The intersection of MN-27 and 285th Ave serves as the local commercial and social hub, where the Post Office and nearby schools historically gathered the rural population.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Platte River winding through the northern sections while Big Mink Creek and Little Mink Creek drain the central prairie. Small basins like Lastrup Lake and Ortman Lake are scattered across the quadrangle, interspersed with civic centers such as Granite Town Hall and Buh Town Hall that mark the distinct political boundaries of these farming townships.
