About this map

The Pittsburgh industrial core and the expansive Allegheny Plateau define this mid-century landscape. At the confluence of the Allegheny River and Monongahela River, the urban center of Pittsburgh stands as the gateway to a region shaped by both heavy industry and the complex topography of the Allegheny Mountains. The map traces the dense network of towns supporting the regional economy, from the steel and rail hubs of McKeesport and Altoona to the coal and manufacturing centers of Johnstown and Greensburg.
