2016 Map of Baker

About this map

Baker stands as the central settlement on this Clay County prairie, situated along the diagonal path of Hwy-52. The landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of the Red River Valley, where the S Br Buffalo River and several smaller streams like Whisky Cr, Stony Cr, and Hay Cr meander through the agricultural grid. These waterways reflect the characteristic hydrologic features of the region, providing vital drainage for the surrounding farmland. To the north, the Clay County Waterfowl Production Area of Minnesota preserves a portion of the natural prairie wetland habitat. The map also delineates the southern boundary where the county line meets Wilkin County, illustrating the transition between these two farming-intensive jurisdictions.
