About this map

The Monongahela River carves the eastern boundary of this industrial and residential landscape south of Pittsburgh, where the topography transitions from the river valley to the hills of Jefferson Hills and Baldwin. This 2010 survey shows the intense infrastructure supporting the Mon Valley, including the Allegheny County Airport and the concentrated riverfront settlements of Glassport, Clairton, and Elizabeth.

Tracing the tributary creeks like Peters Creek and Streets Run reveals a mix of older nodes like Mifflin Junction and Cochrans Mill alongside mid-century suburban expansion. The presence of significant burial grounds, including Zion Cemetery and Saint Clares Cemetery, provides valuable points of reference for genealogists. Farther south, the terrain rises toward Pollocks Knob, overlooking the industrial operations near Dam Number Three and the riverside tracks.
