What it’s like
The place. Cushing is a small township in Morrison County where almost everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and the typical home is valued well above what many would guess for a rural township. Winters are long, cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is a long one. Across Morrison County, some of the largest workplaces are Little Falls Community Schools, St. Gabriels Hospital and Barrett Petfood Innovations Little Falls.
Things to do. A short drive away are Lake Alexander and Shamineau Lake, both good for time by the water, and Fort Ripley, a historic fort. A longer drive brings you to Charles A. Lindbergh State Park, a protected area to walk and spend a day outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Morrison County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Morrison County.
