The small prairie community of Balta serves as the central hub for this portion of Pierce County, characterized by the glacial depressions and wetlands common to the North Dakota landscape. The map highlights key local landmarks such as Mt Carmel Cem just west of the town center, providing a vital point of reference for genealogists and local historians. The surrounding terrain is defined by significant bodies of water, including the large Davis Lake to the southwest, alongside Red Lake and Ranch Lake. A grid of section-line roads like 24th Ave NE and 50th St NE organizes the agricultural expanse, while CR-3526 provides the primary paved connection through the heart of the settlement. This 2014 survey captures the persistence of these small-town rural centers amidst a landscape of changing water levels and vast agricultural fields.
