2011 Map of Balta SE

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands define this landscape in Pierce County, dominated by the expansive Girard Lake and the smaller Battema Lake to the west. The terrain is organized by a precise section-line road network, including thoroughfares such as 49th St NE and 24th Ave NE, which partition the agricultural fields of north-central North Dakota. This 2011 survey illustrates the characteristic drainage patterns of the region, where numerous unnamed sloughs and basins collect runoff across the rolling plains. The absence of traditional town centers highlights the rural, decentralized nature of this township during the early 21st century, as transportation remains rooted in the grid of local routes like 41st St NE and 27th Ave NE.
