2011 Map of Balta

About this map

Balta sits at the heart of this Pierce County landscape, centered around the local water management of the Balta Dam. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of significant prairie potholes and larger water bodies, including Red Lake in the north and the cluster of Davis Lake and Ranch Lake to the southwest. This area illustrates the classic section-line road grid characteristic of North Dakota's agricultural heartland, with numbered routes like 58th St NE and 27th Ave NE providing the primary structure for movement between farmsteads. For those looking into local history, the Mount Carmel Cemetery serves as a key landmark just west of the town center, marking a traditional site of community memory in this sparsely populated region.
