About this map

The Monongahela River and Youghiogheny River converge at McKeesport, defining a landscape deeply marked by its industrial and ethnic heritage. This topography reveals a high density of religious and cultural landmarks, particularly evident in the numerous cemeteries serving diverse communities such as the Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cem, Saint Mary Czestochowa Cem, and the Temple B'nai Israel Cem of White Oak.

Beyond the urban centers of Duquesne and West Mifflin, the terrain rises into the surrounding hills where institutions like Penn State Greater Allegheny and the Inter County Airport are situated. The contemporary transition of the region is visible in the repurposing of old corridors into recreation, most notably the Great Allegheny Passage Trl, which follows the riverbanks through communities like Boston and Greenock.
