1997 Map of Pittsburgh East

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Schenley Heights and the dense neighborhoods of the East End dominate this late-twentieth-century landscape, capturing the industrial and academic heart of the region. The Allegheny River and Monongahela River frame the city's golden triangle, where massive infrastructure like the Liberty Bridge and Washington Crossing Br connects the central business district to outlying boroughs. Extensive green spaces and institutional grounds provide a counterpoint to the urban grid, notably the sprawling Allegheny Cemetery and the academic corridor featuring Carnegie-Mellon University and the Univ of Pittsburgh with its iconic Cathedral of Learning. The era's urban geography is further defined by historic residential enclaves like Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and East Liberty, along with landmarks of the period including the Civic Arena and the Lawrence Convention Ctr.
