2016 Map of Pittsburgh East

About this map

The Allegheny River and Monongahela River define the industrial and residential heart of this Pittsburgh region, where steep hillsides are densely packed with historic neighborhoods and massive urban cemeteries. The landscape is a complex network of elevations, from the low-lying Soho and Lawrenceville riverfronts to the heights of Schenley Heights and Squirrel Hill. This 2016 record shows the heavy concentrations of religious and educational institutions that have long anchored these communities, including Duquesne Univ, Carlow Univ, and the sprawling University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus. A remarkable density of burial grounds like the historic Allegheny Cemetery and Homewood Cemetery reflects the city's multi-generational heritage and ethnic diversity, while a vast bridge network including the Liberty Bridge and Washington Crossing Bridge illustrates the city's triumph over its challenging topography.
