2017 Map of Balta

About this map

Balta serves as the primary hub in this portion of Pierce County, situated amidst a landscape defined by glacial prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands. The small settlement is characterized by a grid-like street plan, including 4th Ave and 2nd Ave, which provides a structured contrast to the irregular shorelines of the surrounding water bodies. To the west and south, larger basins such as Red Lake, Davis Lake, and Ranch Lake dominate the terrain, illustrating the characteristic drainage patterns of the North Dakota plains. The inclusion of Mount Carmel Cem near the town center offers a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in this rural community. The surrounding land is divided into a systematic section grid, with rural corridors like 56th St NE and 24th Ave NE facilitating transport across the agricultural landscape during the early 21st century.
