The Allegheny River and Monongahela River dominate this 1960s landscape, framing a dense industrial and residential corridor east of Pittsburgh. The map documents the post-war suburban expansion into the hills of Penn Hills and Monroeville, where new developments like Garden City and Regency Park began to fill the spaces between established boroughs. Notable for its complex transportation network, the area is crisscrossed by major rail lines including the Pennsylvania RR and the Bessemer and Lake Erie RR, alongside the emerging path of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
