About this map

Oakdale serves as a focal point for this section of Allegheny County, where the developed corridors of the northern suburbs meet a landscape defined by industrial history and modern transportation. The northern boundary is dominated by the southeastern grounds of the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport, while the legacy of the region's extraction economy is visible at Cliff Mine.

A network of watercourses, including Montour Run and Robinson Run, dictates the local topography and historical infrastructure. These valleys now support recreation, as seen with The Montour Trl and The Panhandle Trl following the old rail grades. Numerous local landmarks provide depth for researchers, from the Oakdale Post Office to a significant concentration of religious and community burial grounds, such as Valley Cemetery, Holy Souls Cemetery, and the Felician Sisters Cemetery.
