About this map

The Allegheny River and Monongahela River converge to define this urban landscape, where the industrial and cultural heart of Pittsburgh is mapped in meticulous detail. The dense neighborhood fabric spans from the steep slopes of Troy Hill and Spring Hill to the expansive educational corridors of Oakland, Bellefield, and Shadyside. Large institutional landmarks are central to the map's character, including the sprawling grounds of Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, alongside the distinctive Allegheny County Courthouse.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the high density of religious and ethnic burial grounds, such as the Troy Hill Hebrew Cem, Saint Paul of the Cross Monastery Cem, and the massive Allegheny Cem. The region's connectivity is illustrated by numerous spans like the Sixty-Second Street Bridge and Washington Crossing Bridge, which facilitate movement between riverfront communities like Etna, Millvale, and Sharpsburg.
