OVERVIEW: About this Text-Only Brochure
Welcome to the audio-described version of Theodore Roosevelt National Park’s official print brochure. Through text and audio and text descriptions of photos and maps, this version interprets the two-sided color brochure that visitors to Theodore Roosevelt receive.
The brochure explores the history of Theodore Roosevelt’s time and connection to the Little Missouri Badlands, some of the park’s highlights, and maps for trip planning.
The audio version lasts about 33 minutes and is divided into17sections, to improve the listening experience. The brochure covers two pages and is folded into twelfths. The front includes information regarding Theodore Roosevelt and the Little Missouri Badlands. The back page contains information about the highlights in the park, as well as maps of the park.
OVERVIEW: Front Side of Brochure
DESCRIPTION: The front side of the brochure features a large wide shot photograph of a view of the Little Missouri badlands, along with a quote from Theodore Roosevelt about his time in North Dakota and box of text summarizing Theodore Roosevelt’s time in the Dakotas. There are two different sections of text in the bottom half of the front about the history of the Badlands, with pictures and captions. At the very bottom is a wide shot of seven bison grazing in winter. At the very top of the page is a black banner. It is standard for National Park Service (NPS) brochures. On the left side it identifies the site as Theodore Roosevelt. On the right, is the NPS Arrowhead. The NPS Arrowhead logo is a brown textured arrowhead, point down. At top right in white text is ‘National Park Service’. At left, a tall green tree. At bottom, a white bison standing on a green field ending in a distant tree line, a white lake at right, and a snow-capped mountain towering behind. The caption to the direct left of the Arrowhead says, “National Park Service” and “U.S. Department of the Interior”. Further left is “Theodore Roosevelt National Park” and “North Dakota”.
IMAGE and TEXT: River Bend Overlook
DESCRIBING: A photo that covers the top half of the brochure.
SYNOPSIS: A photograph of River Bend Overlook, with a text box about Theodore Roosevelt and an accompanying photo.
IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTION: Taken from the River Bend Overlook in the North Unit, the Little Missouri badlands stretches out into the distance. The Little Missouri River snakes between buttes, its banks lined with cottonwood and juniper trees. The different layers making up the buttes are comprised of starkly contrasting bands of color: grey bentonite clay, black coal, brown sandstone. The valley in between the buttes is covered in fine green grass, juniper trees, and sagebrush. There is a Theodore Roosevelt quote in the upper left corner against blue sky.
CAPTIONS: I have always said I never would have been President if it had not been for my experiences in North Dakota. —Theodore Roosevelt, 1918; View from River Bend Overlook, North Unit. Bentonite, a fine-grained, blue-gray clay, defines the badlands’ landscape. The dark band is a lignite coal seam.

TEXT: Theodore Roosevelt first came to the Dakota Territory in 1883 to hunt bison. A year later, devastated by personal tragedy, he returned to grieve and lose himself in the vastness. He became a cattle rancher and, in this broken land, found adventure, purpose, wholeness. Through his ranch ultimately failed, his love for the rugged beauty of the land brought him back time and again for the rest of his life.
Roosevelt credited his Dakota experiences as the basis for his ground-breaking preservation efforts and the shaping of his own character. As president 1901-1909, he translated his love of nature into law. He established the US Forest Service and signed the 1906 Antiquities Act, under which he proclaimed 18 national monuments. He worked with Congress to create five national parks, 150 national forests, and dozens of federal reserves—over 230 million acres of protected land.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park was not the great man’s own creation. It was established in 1947 as a national memorial park to honor President Roosevelt and to provide a place for us to experience his beloved Badlands in our own ways.
My home ranch lies on both sides of the Little Missouri, the nearest ranch man above me being about twelve, and the nearest below me about ten, miles distant. —Theodore Roosevelt, 1887

TEXT: Over thousands of years, the Little Missouri River and its tributaries have cut through the soft sedimentary layers of the northern Great Plains. Flowing water—along with wind, ice, and plants—continue their erosive action. You can see land in transition throughout the park.
Are the Badlands really bad? For human travelers and farmers, perhaps. But bison and elk thrive with a choice of edible grasses—blue grama, western wheatgrass, buffalo grass, little bluestem, and needle-and-thread. Spring rains renew the grasslands and bring wildflowers’ bright profusion. Prickly pear cactus delights hikers who might not think its habitat extends this far north.
Woody draws have stands of Rocky Mountain junipers, while the Little Missouri floodplain supports dense growths of cottonwoods and other shrubs.
White-tailed deer forage in the river woodlands, while mule deer prefer broken country and uplands. Horses descended from ranch stock roam in the South Unit, as in Roosevelt’s time. Prairie dogs, long a staple food source for many predators, live in “towns” in the grasslands. At home here, too, are nearly 200 bird species, many of them songbirds.
In the 1880s, Roosevelt witnessed overhunting, overgrazing, and other threats to the natural world. Conservation increasingly became one of his major concerns. He would surely be gratified to know that through careful management, many animals that nearly became extinct are once again living here.
The bison is one such success story. They roamed the plains by the millions until the 1880s, when wholesale slaughter diminished their numbers to a few hundred. In 1956 a small herd was reintroduced here and has grown to the point where it has to be carefully managed. Elk, bighorn sheep, and pronghorn have also been reintroduced with success.

TEXT: The Badlands saw human activity going back thousands of years, but because through-travel was difficult, there is little evidence of permanent settlement. In historic times Northern Plains tribes hunted the great bison herds.
When the railroad came to the Dakota Territory in the 1880s, people moved from the East and Midwest to try their hand at ranching. In 1883 Theodore Roosevelt invested in a local cattle operation known as the Maltese Cross Ranch, south of Medora.
The next summer, after both his wife and his mother died on February 14, he returned in search of healing and solitude. He started a second ranch, the Elkhorn. Roosevelt considered the Elkhorn to be his “home ranch” and spent most of his time here when in the Dakotas.
Roosevelt became a respected member of the ranching community. Today, this regional culture continues along with another commercial boom. Energy development surrounds the park. Round-the-clock drilling, pumping, and hauling oil and natural gas from the Bakken Shale formation takes place outside the park boundary.
The Badlands have never been an easy place to make a living. How will we meet today’s challenge of balancing nature and human needs?

MAP: North Unit
DESCRIBING: A wayfinding map of the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the surrounding area.
SYNOPSIS: A large overview map of the North Unit. It shows the location of the unit off Highway 85, and points of interest along the 14-mile scenic drive (22.5 kilometers). It also shows the various trails through the wilderness area within the unit, as well as the path of the Little Missouri River, which flows north, then west to east through the unit.
IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTION: The map is oriented with north at the top and with a distance scale depicting both 2 miles and 2 kilometers at the bottom of the map. On the right side of the map, Highway 85 stretches north to south. 11 miles (18 km) to the north of the park is Watford City. To the south, the distance to Belfield and Interstate 94 is 48 miles (77 km). The Little Missouri National Grassland borders the park on both sides of the unit. South of the park is the Maah Daah Hey Trail, which briefly enters the southernmost part of the unit, heading north, then heads east and back out into the Grasslands. The trail continues east and north towards the CCC Campground, managed by the US Forest Service and accessible from a road off Highway 85. Summit Campground is also accessible from a side road off Highway 85 and managed by the US Forest Service. An unnamed trail (Summit Trail) heads west and north from Summit Campground and meets up with the Maah Daah Hey Trail. The Long X Trail, also unnamed, first goes west to east from the Long X Divide, then south to connect with the Maah Daah Hey Trail as well as north to meet with the CCC Campground.
The scenic drive goes east to west, with a curve northward onto an elevated plateau after mile marker 7. The vast majority of the north unit is wilderness area on both the north and south sides of the scenic road, the borders of which have a green tinge. There are four trails in the unit; Buckhorn on the eastern half, Achenbach on the west side and south of the scenic drive, Caprock Coulee Trail in the center and close to the scenic drive, and the Little Mo Nature Trail located near Juniper Campground. Trails are demarked by green dashed lines and have notations of the distances in miles and kilometers along them. Creeks are represented by thin blue lines, and springs are marked on the map. There are two prairie dog towns along the Buckhorn trail, on the north side of the scenic drive road.
The entrance to the North Unit is just past where Highway 85 crosses the Little Missouri River on the Long X Bridge. The North Unit Visitor Center is just off the turnoff into the park and is in Central Time. It is on the north side of the scenic drive. Past mile marker 1 is a pullout area for the first Buckhorn trailhead. At mile marker 5, there is the Cannonball Concretions Pullout that provides access to the Buckhorn Trail; there is also a left turn into Juniper Campground. The Little Mo Nature Trail is accessible from the campground, as is the South Achenbach Trail, which requires a river crossing. Halfway between mile markers 7 and 6 is a pullout and trailhead for the Caprock Coulee Trail and Caprock Coulee Nature Trail, as well as access for the North Achenbach Trail. Between mile markers 8 and 9 is the River Bend Overlook, which also provides access to the Caprock Coulee Trail. At the end of the scenic drive, at mile marker 14, is the Oxbow Overlook, which also provides access to the South Achenbach Trail as well as the North Achenbach Trail.

36-mile Scenic Loop Drive. This paved drive has pullouts with overlooks and exhibit panels.
Boicourt Overlook. One of the best views of the Badlands in the park is from this overlook.
Peaceful Valley Ranch. This complex spans the successive eras of the area’s recent history. It was a ranch in the late 1800s, dude ranch in the 1920s, headquarters of the CCC and WPA in the 1930s, park headquarters in the 1950s and 60s, and facility for guided horseback rides until 2014.
TEXT: Elkhorn Ranch Unit (Timeless)
The Elkhorn Ranch Unit is the site of Roosevelt’s beloved second ranch. The buildings no longer exist, but stones mark the ranch house foundation. Exhibit panels tell about ranch life and floodplain habitat.
Before going to the Elkhorn, ask for information at one of the visitor centers. The roads are unpaved, steep, and easily washed out by storms.
In 1884 Theodore Roosevelt hired Wilmot Down and Bill Sewall to build and run the ranch. By mid-October Sewall and Down had moved onto the site of the Elkhorn Ranch and were cutting and collection cottonwood logs for the ranch house. Working through the winter, they completed the house by spring 1885.
The eight-room house stood 30 by 60 feet, with 7-foot-high walls. A porch hugged the east side. Down and Sewall built several more buildings: two stables with a connecting roof; cattle shed; chicken house; and blacksmith shop.
By 1887 drought and blizzards had destroyed Roosevelt’s herds. He gave up ranching and moved permanently back to New York to continue his political career.
MAP: The Three Units
DESCRIBING: A wayfinding map showing the relative positions of the three Theodore Roosevelt National Parks respective to one another.
SYNOPSIS: An overall map of the locations of the three units respective to roadways and each other.
IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTION: The map is oriented with north at the top, and with a distance scale depicting both 10 miles and 10 kilometers at the top left corner of the map. Roads are labeled and highlighted in red or grey. The North and South Units are presented in green patches, and the Elkhorn Ranch Unit as a green circle. The Little Missouri River is labeled and depicted as a light blue line, and the Maah Daah Hey Trail is a dashed green line and runs through all three units. The Maah Daah Hey trail starts south of Medora, goes north through the South Unit, and continues north for another 26 miles/42 kilometers to the Elkhorn Unit. 44 miles/71 kilometers further north, it briefly enters the North Unit before turning east to the trailhead just south of the entrance to the North Unit.
At the bottom of the map is Interstate 94 running east to west. On the far left side of the map, the interstate leads to the town of Beach, 8 miles/13 kilometers from Exit 10. At Exit 10, there is access to the roads that lead up to the Elkhorn Ranch Unit: County Road 11 to Road 708, then to Road FH2. Past Exit 10, the interstate continues to the town of Medora, which can be accessed either from Exit 24 or Exit 27. The South Unit is located on the north side of the interstate and can be accessed from Medora. There is a single point of entry that becomes a loop road through the unit. 15 miles/24 kilometers from Medora is the town of Belfield, which sits at the intersection of Interstate 94 and Highway 85, at Exit 42. 10 miles/16 kilometers further east of Belfield on the interstate is the city of Dickinson. 32 miles/51 kilometers up Highway 85 is the turn onto County Road 200, which leads to the town of Killdeer, 12 miles/19 kilometers to the east.

North of the interstate, West River Road goes north; 6.2 miles/10 kilometers up it is access to the Petrified Forest trails. There are two exits that lead to Medora, where the entrance to the South Unit is; Exit 24 from the west and Exit 27 from the east. Off Exit 32 is the Painted Canyon Visitor Center (Mountain Time), with services available only in the summer. There is access to the Painted Canyon Nature Trail from the visitor center, as well as the Painted Canyon Trail, which merges with the Upper Paddock Creek Trail to the north. There is an Exit 36, the last exit before Belfield, which is 10 miles/16 kilometers east of the Painted Canyon Visitor Center.
Running between Exit 24 and Exit 27 is Pacific Avenue, which runs through the town of Medora. When coming from the west side, the first left turn is to a privately-run campground. The next turn, which is on the right, leads to the Chateau DeMores State Historic Site. The first turn left after crossing the Little Missouri River leads to a state-run picnic area, and the second leads into the South Unit. The visitor center is located on the left upon entering the park. Further down Pacific is a right turn which crosses a railroad track and goes south, with access to Sully Creek State Park, and the Maah Daah Hey Trail from the state park. There is a railroad that runs alongside Highway 10, then Pacific Avenue, before running parallel to Interstate 94 at a distance. Both to the south and the north of the park is the Little Missouri National Grasslands.
The South Unit Visitor Center, located in Mountain Time, has Roosevelt’s Maltese Cross Cabin on the premises. Past the visitor center is the beginning of the scenic loop drive, which is 36 miles/58 kilometers roundtrip. The first overlook, the Medora Overlook, is less than a half mile from the visitor center. After mile marker 2, the road crosses over Interstate 94. Skyline Vista is located halfway between mile markers 4 and 5, and is wheelchair accessible. Between mile markers 5 and 6 is the Cottonwood Campground and picnic area. Past mile marker 6, the road splits into the two directions for the loop. Continuing northward on the loop, there is a right turn to Peaceful Valley Ranch, which has access to the CCC Trailhead and Ekblom Trailhead. At mile marker 7, there is a right turn to the Halliday Well Trailhead, which provides access to the Lower Paddock Creek Trail. At mile marker 8 there is the Jones Creek Trailhead. There is a pullout at mile marker 9. There is a parking area with access to Wind Canyon Trail between mile markers 10 and 11. Between mile markers 14 and 15 is another trailhead for the Jones Creek Trail. Between mile markers 15 and 16 are the Boicourt Overlook pullout and the Boicourt Trail, which is wheelchair accessible. Close to mile marker 18, there is a pullout for the Talkington Trail. Between mile markers 18 and 19 there is a turn for a road that leads up to Buck Hill, which sits at 2855 feet above sea level, or 870 meters. There is a .2 mile/.3 kilometer trail there. There is a pullout and restroom near mile marker 19. Just before mile marker 20 is a road leading to the Coal Vein Trail. Between mile markers 20 and 21 is a pullout for the Badlands Spur Trail.

There are pullouts between mile markers 23 and 24, at mile marker 24 (Badlands Overlook), between mile markers 25 and 26, at mile marker 26 (Scoria Overlook), and between mile markers 26 and 27. There is a trailhead between mile markers 24 and 25 for the Ridgeline Nature Trail. The loop becomes complete past mile marker 28.
The South Unit is divided into two parts by the Little Missouri River, which flows from south to north. The Scenic Loop Road is on the eastern side of the river. The western side of the river, the Big Plateau, is largely designated as Wilderness Area. The Maah Daah Hey Trail runs north to south through the Wilderness area and intersects with multiple trails (listed from south to north): Ekblom Trail, Lone Tree Loop, Big Plateau Trail, South Petrified Forest Trail, Mike Auney Trail, and the North Petrified Forest Trail. North of the park boundary, the Maah Daah Hey meets the Buffalo Gap Trail, which is a bypass west around the South Unit, from the northern boundary down to north of Sully Creek State Park. The Petrified Forest Loop is comprised of the South Petrified Forest Trail, the north stretch of the Maah Daah Hey within the unit, and the North Petrified Forest Trail. Both the North and South Petrified Forest Trails are accessible from the Petrified Forest Trailhead.
On the east side of the Little Missouri, intersecting with the scenic loop are the following trails: Lower Paddock Creek, Upper Paddock Creek, Rim Trail, Upper Talkington Trail, Lower Talkington Trail, Badlands Spur Trail, Jones Creek Trail, and Roundup Trail. Past Wind Canyon Trail, East River Road continues out of the park, with a turn-off to the Roundup Horse Camp (restricted access), then out of the park.
There are multiple prairie dog towns in the South Unit. Three are visible from the Scenic Loop Drive: one between mile markers 3 and 4; one where the loop starts and visible between mile markers 6, 7, and 28; and around mile markers 9 and 10, at Beef Corral Bottom. There are multiple springs labeled, and a number of creeks that flow through the park, with trails crossing them frequently.
