About this map

Baker and its local post office, PO Baker, serve as the central hub of this agricultural landscape along the western edge of Minnesota. The terrain is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways, including the winding course of the S Br Buffalo River and its tributaries such as Whisky Cr and Stony Creek. These drainage patterns shape the grid of rural roads, including Co Hwy-52, which cuts diagonally across the section lines.

Positioned near the border of Clay Co and Wilkin Co, the area demonstrates the late 20th-century persistence of small-scale settlement patterns in the Red River Valley region. Researchers will find the map captures the precise layout of county thoroughfares like 100th Ave S and 140th St S, detailing how local infrastructure facilitates the transit between scattered farmsteads and the primary rail and road corridors of the county.
