About this map

The industrial and residential landscape east of Pittsburgh unfolds along the steep valleys carved by the Allegheny River and Monongahela River. This contemporary survey shows the dense suburban maturation of Wilkinsburg, Churchill, and Monroeville, where modern infrastructure like the William Penn Hwy and Pittsburgh-Monroeville Airport overlies an older network of local roads and rail lines including the P & L E RR.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of religious and memorial sites reflecting the area's diverse heritage, ranging from the Beulah Presbyterian Church Cemetery and Unity Presbyterian Church to numerous Jewish sites such as Sons of Israel Cemetery, Agudath Achim Cemetery, and Temple Sinai Memorial Park. The rugged topography is further defined by major drainage systems like Turtle Creek, Thompson Run, and Chalfant Run, which historically dictated the placement of heavy industry and transit corridors in this portion of Allegheny County.
