1948 Map of Lastrup
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Lastrup and Harding anchor a landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and a dense network of rural school districts in the late 1940s. The survey illustrates a decentralized social structure, where community life centered around places like Holy Mother of Rosary Church and numerous one-room schoolhouses, including District No 36 School and District No 84 School. The winding Platte River and the Nokasippi River drain the region, while marshes like Black Brook Swamp and lakes such as Fuchs Lake break up the survey sections. This era shows the persistence of local governance at the township level, evidenced by the Granite Town Hall and Buh Town Hall. Genealogists will find particular value in the precise locations of the Freedhem Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery, documenting the early families who settled this portion of central Minnesota.
