2014 Map of Medora

About this map

Medora sits at a critical junction of the Little Missouri River and the western rail lines, serving as a gateway to the high plateaus of western North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the proximity of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the expansive Little Missouri National Grassland, where the rugged topography is punctuated by numerous springs and seeps. Local landmarks such as Medora Cem and the Medora Oil Field illustrate the intersection of pioneer heritage and modern industry. The transport network follows the natural drainage of the land, with W River Rd and Pacific Ave tracing the river valley. Water remains the lifeblood of the region, marked by named features like Lone Tree Spring, Wannagan Seeps, and Sheep Pasture Spring that once supported the ranching and settlement of the Peaceful Valley area.
