About this map

Industrial and residential growth along the Ohio River valley characterizes this mid-century portrait of the Pittsburgh region. At the confluence where the Allegheny River and Monongahela River form the Ohio, the Golden Triangle sits across from the landmark Western State Penitentiary and the rail yards of Esplen. The map captures a landscape defined by heavy rail infrastructure, including the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie and Pennsylvania lines, which serve the manufacturing hubs of McKees Rocks and Neville.
