About this map

The Allegheny River and Monongahela River frame the dense urban landscape of Pittsburgh in this early 1990s record of Pennsylvania’s industrial heart. The confluence near the Strip District and Hill District showcases a complex infrastructure of river crossings, including the 16th St Bridge and the Washington Crossing Br. The map reveals the city's academic and cultural core through the expansive campuses of the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University adjacent to Schenley Park.

Extending eastward, the urban fabric transitions into distinct neighborhoods like East Liberty, Shadyside, and Squirrel Hill. Large green spaces and historic burial grounds, such as Allegheny Cemetery and Homewood Cemetery, provide significant landmarks for genealogists and local historians. The presence of numerous institutions like Western Pa Hosp and Peabody High Sch reflects the established community infrastructure of the era, while Conrail lines trace the persistent rail-and-river economy of the region.
