About this map

Allegheny River and Monongahela River dominate this urban corridor, defining the boundaries of historic neighborhoods and industrial passages. The map details the dense infrastructure of the eastern city, where numerous spans like the Sixty-Second Street Bridge and Washington Crossing Bridge connect settlements such as Sharpsburg, Millvale, and Aspinwall. Between these riverfront communities, the landscape rises into the residential ridges of Stanton Heights and Morningside.

Large green spaces and institutional grounds provide a distinct contrast to the gridded streets, notably the sprawling Allegheny Cemetery and Frick Park. For genealogists and local researchers, the map identifies specific landmarks like Homewood Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery, alongside recreational sites including the Schenley Park Golf Course. Significant transit arteries are visible, from the Squirrel Hill Tunnel to the Armstrong Tunnel, illustrating the complex engineering required to navigate the area's steep topography.
