The Straight River defines the setting of Medford — its corridor crosses the flat, productive farmland of southeastern Minnesota and gives this small Steele County community a clear river-valley focus. Medford stands beside Interstate 35 between the larger centres of Owatonna and Faribault, on a principal north–south route through the state. The Straight River is a tributary of the Cannon River within the Mississippi River watershed, bringing a wooded riparian thread to the broad agricultural surroundings. The Medford Outlet Center near the interstate interchange is a notable local commercial landmark.
