2022 Map of Baker

About this map

Baker sits at the center of this agricultural landscape in Clay County, positioned along the diagonal route of Hwy 52. The township is defined by a grid of rural sections, primarily bounded by numbered avenues and streets that facilitate the movement of goods through this portion of the Red River Valley. The hydrology of the region is prominent, with the S Br Buffalo River winding through the southern half of the quadrangle and smaller tributaries like Whisky Cr and Stony Creek draining the northern reaches. The transition between Clay Co and Wilkin Co at the southern margin, marked by Co Rd 192, highlights the jurisdictional boundaries of this farming district. These waterways and road networks suggest a landscape dominated by large-scale cultivation and small prairie settlements established along early transportation corridors.
