2013 Map of Glenshaw

About this map

Glenshaw and Allison Park serve as central points in this suburban landscape of northern Allegheny County, where the steep terrain of the Allegheny Plateau is deeply dissected by Pine Cr and its many tributaries. The map reveals a dense network of residential development and commercial corridors, notably along the William Flynn Hwy and Butler St. Industrial and transport legacies are evident near the southern boundary in Etna and Undereliff, where the valley narrows. Notable landmarks include the Pennsylvania Turnpike Interchange 4, which facilitates regional connectivity, and smaller aviation sites like Nardo Airport and Cedar Run Airport. The character of the area is further defined by its numerous small communities such as Elfinwild, Talley Cavey, and Dorseyville, each situated along the winding ridges and stream valleys that have historically dictated the region's growth.
