According to the United States Census Bureau, Morrow Township covers an area of 29.8 square miles (77 km2); with 29.7 miles (47.8 km) being land and the remaining 0.1 miles (0.16 km) being water.[2] The township has been fragmented by the expansion of Fayetteville and thus Fayetteville Township. Prairie now consists of two main segments along Fayetteville's eastern edge and three very small segments on Fayetteville's west side.
The township gave part to Reed Township in 1880 and part to Wyman Township between 1890-1900.[1]
The township contains Hester Cemetery and St. Joseph Cemetery.
