1951 Map of Pittsburgh West

About this map

The confluence of the Allegheny River and Monongahela River forms the head of the Ohio River, anchoring an industrial landscape defined by river traffic and rail networks. This mid-century survey illustrates the dense residential expansion into the hills south and west of the city, where neighborhoods like Dormont, Mount Lebanon, and Crafton sit atop the winding topography. Along the banks, the P and L E RR and Pennsylvania RR follow the water, serving industrial hubs near McKees Rocks and Neville Island.
