2014 Map of Baker

About this map

Baker occupies the southeastern portion of this Benson County landscape, surrounded by the characteristic prairie pothole topography of the North Dakota plains. The terrain is defined by numerous small depressions and wetland basins, including the larger Twin Lakes in the northeast and Cranberry Lake in the southwest. A rigid section-line road network, featuring routes such as 41st Ave NE and 57th St NE, bisects the area into agricultural blocks, a testament to the systematic land division of the Great Plains. Apart from the small concentration of structures at Baker, the map shows a sparse settlement pattern dominated by open fields and isolated water bodies, reflecting the region's enduring focus on large-scale farming and rural connectivity through county roads like Cr-0314.
