1988 Map of Walhalla Plateau

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Walhalla Plateau dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the flat upland abruptly gives way to the intricate erosional features of Grand Canyon National Park. The topography here transition from the forested heights near Greenland Lake down into a complex network of side canyons like Natchi Canyon and the Kwagunt Valley. Human presence is evidenced by archaeological Ruins and the Walhalla Glades, suggesting a long history of occupation in these sheltered reaches before the area was preserved. Notable landmarks include the Hartman Natural Bridge and several towering geological formations named for mythological and historical figures, such as Juno Temple, Thor Temple, and Jupiter Temple. Natural water sources, including Cliff Spring and Cheyava Falls, were vital for the various groups who navigated this vertical terrain, which also shows evidence of modern utility through a Gravel Pit and numerous designated viewpoints like Vista Encantada.
