2024 Map of Marmarth

About this map

Marmarth sits at a critical intersection of water and rail transport where the Little Missouri River meets the BNSF Railway. This prairie landscape is defined by the extensive reaches of the Little Missouri National Grassland, punctuated by distinct topographic features like Pretty Butte and the winding course of Little Beaver Creek. The town site itself maintains a traditional grid, featuring streets such as Main St and Railway St that reflect its historical development as a rail hub in the Badlands. On the eastern edge of the settlement, Riverside Cem overlooks the river valley near Dickey Draw. The surrounding territory is marked by tributary drainage systems including South Butte Creek and South Mosquito Creek, alongside modern infrastructure like Oilwell Rd, illustrating the continued importance of land management and resource extraction in this corner of North Dakota.
