1958 Map of Baker
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The small settlement of Baker sits at a rail intersection in the North Dakota prairie, serving as a focal point for this late-1950s survey of Benson County. The regional landscape is defined by the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad, which cuts diagonally across the terrain, shaping the local transport and trade network. This area is characterized by numerous small depressions and water bodies typical of the region, including the prominent Twin Lakes on the eastern edge. Beyond agriculture, the presence of several Gravel Pits and a Gravel Pit suggests the local importance of aggregate extraction for road building and infrastructure development during this period of the Missouri River Basin development program.
