1993 Map of Pittsburgh East

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The Allegheny River and Monongahela River converge in this urban survey, framing the dense industrial and institutional heart of Pittsburgh in the early 1990s. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, where the Squirrel Hill Tunnel and numerous bridges like the Washington Crossing Br connect neighborhoods separated by steep ravines. Educational and cultural landmarks are concentrated in the Oakland district, notably the Cathedral of Learning and the sprawling campuses of Carnegie Mellon University and the Univ of Pittsburgh. Large green spaces like Schenley Park and Frick Park provide significant breaks in the street grid, while massive burial grounds such as Allegheny Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery offer critical points of reference for genealogists tracing family histories in the city's historic East End neighborhoods like Shadyside and East Liberty.
