About this map

The Monongahela River, Allegheny River, and Youghiogheny River converge within this industrial landscape at the dawn of the twentieth century, illustrating a region defined by its water-and-rail topography. The Pennsylvania RR and numerous specialized lines like the Union RR lace through the river valleys, connecting steel centers such as Braddock, Homestead, and Swissvale. Beyond the dense urban core of Pittsburgh, the map reveals the era's transition from city to rural township, featuring large green spaces like Highland Park and the expansive Homewood Cem.
