1951 Map of Pittsburgh East

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The confluence of heavy industry and urban institutional growth is clearly defined along the Allegheny River and Monongahela River in this mid-century survey. The landscape is dominated by the dense street grids of Pittsburgh and the massive park and cemetery tracts that break up the residential developments of Oakland and Squirrel Hill. Major landmarks of the era are meticulously plotted, including the Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh and the nearby Forbes Field, reflecting the city's cultural and athletic centers before the era of modern stadium construction.
