About this map

Walhalla sits at the base of the Pembina Escarpment, where the Pembina River winds through deep wooded valleys before entering the flat agricultural lands of the Red River Valley. This mid-1960s survey documents the town’s role as a regional hub, featuring the Walhalla Airport and its proximity to the Canada-United States border, marked by the Port of Entry US Customs. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the elevated plateaus of North Olga and Fremont down to the river basin.

Transportation history is visible through the Great Northern rail line and an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern plains. Local landmarks like Lookout Point and the Walhalla Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and a Gaging Station on the river reflect the area's geological and hydrological utility during this era.
