1956 Map of Pittsburgh East
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Allegheny River and Monongahela River dominate this mid-century portrait of Pittsburgh's eastern landscape, converging toward the city's famous Point. The industrial and academic heart of the region is visible through the sprawling campuses of the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Institute of Technology, adjacent to the cultural landmarks of Schenley Park and the Mellon Institute. Extensive rail infrastructure, including the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, carves through established neighborhoods like Shadyside and East Liberty, illustrating how the city's growth was dictated by its topography.
