2010 Map of Baker

About this map

Baker stands as the primary settlement on this Clay County landscape, where the Baker Post Office and local infrastructure like the Wagner Farm Airport serve the surrounding agricultural community. The terrain is defined by a series of meandering waterways that cut through the grid of section lines and gravel roads, most notably the South Branch Buffalo River, Whisky Creek, and Stony Creek. The alignment of Hwy-52 provides a diagonal contrast to the rectangular survey system, connecting the village to the wider region. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the Red River Valley, where drainage patterns from Hay Creek and other small tributaries have long dictated the placement of farmsteads and transport corridors in a landscape otherwise dominated by industrial-scale farming.
