2017 Map of Medora

About this map

The Little Missouri River carves a winding path through this western North Dakota landscape, anchoring a region defined by protected lands and the historic town of Medora. This area serves as a gateway to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the surrounding Little Missouri National Grassland, where the rugged terrain transitions from the high elevations of Big Plateau to the sheltered area of Peaceful Valley. Transport and travel patterns are clearly visible, from the route of Old Hwy 10 and Pacific Ave to the local tracks and cemeteries like Medora Cem. The hydrological network is dense with named water sources essential to this arid environment, including Wannagan Seeps, Tomamichael Spring, and numerous creeks such as Knutson Cr and Sully Cr that drain into the main river valley.
