About this map

Lastrup and the surrounding agricultural townships of Morrison County are defined by a network of drainage and faith in this mid-2010s survey. The landscape is heavily influenced by the meandering courses of the Platte River and the Skunk River, which feed into several small basins including Lastrup Lake, Ortman Lake, and Denger Lake. These water bodies are complemented by numerous smaller tributaries like Big Mink Cr and Little Mink Cr.

Settlement patterns follow the rural township grid, with the small communities of Platte and Harding serving as local hubs. The region's cultural heritage is anchored by its religious sites, including the Saint John Nepomucene Catholic Cem in Lastrup, the Saint Mary's Polish National Catholic Cem to the north, and the Holy Cross Cem near Harding. A post office is noted in Lastrup, indicating its continued role as a focal point for the surrounding farmsteads.
