2011 Map of Baker

About this map

Baker sits at the heart of this Benson County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads and numerous small wetlands. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of central North Dakota, anchored by the intersection of 52nd St Ne and 45th Ave Ne. The geography is characterized by its glacial potholes and larger water bodies like Twin Lakes in the northeast and Cranberry Lake in the southwest. The systematic layout of routes such as 57th St Ne and 41st Ave Ne reveals the enduring importance of the Public Land Survey System in organizing this agricultural region, providing a clear view of the farmsteads and transport corridors at the start of the 2010s.
