About this map

Allegheny County Airport dominates the northern reaches of this industrial and residential landscape south of Pittsburgh. The terrain is deeply carved by the Monongahela River and its tributaries, creating a complex series of valleys and ridges where settlements like Glassport, Clairton, and Dravosburg developed. This survey highlights the region's dense commemorative landscape, featuring numerous religious sites and burial grounds such as the Saint Peters Episcopal Church Columbarium, Mifflin United Presbyterian Church Cem, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus Polish National Catholic Cem.

The industrial heritage of the valley is evident in place names like Coal Valley and the remnants of earlier settlement patterns at Cochrans Mill. The map also captures modern institutional developments, including the Community College of Allegheny County South Campus and the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics. These landmarks, along with family-named features like Pollocks Knob and Gill Hall, provide a detailed record of land use and community development across the Allegheny and Washington county line.
