About this map

The Monongahela River and Allegheny River converge toward the heart of Pittsburgh, framing a landscape defined by dense urban neighborhoods and historic riverfront industry. The map captures the complex topography of the city's east end, from the heights of Stanton Heights and Schenley Heights down to the riverbanks at Hazelwood and Lawrenceville. This modern survey documents an extraordinary density of religious and cultural landmarks, including the Saint Paul of the Cross Monastery and the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.

For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for dozens of denominational burial grounds, such as the Saint Michael's Slovakian Roman Catholic Cem and Adath Israel Cem. Educational institutions like Carnegie Mellon University and Duquesne University are shown alongside extensive parklands and recreation routes, including the Steel Valley Trail - Great Allegheny Passage Trl and the Three Rivers Water Trl, which follow the historic corridors of the city's industrial past.
