1951 Map of Pittsburgh West

About this map

The confluence of the Allegheny River and Monongahela River forms the Ohio River at the heart of this post-war survey, anchoring a landscape of heavy industry and dense residential expansion. Along the river banks, the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie and Pennsylvania railroads service the manufacturing hubs of McKees Rocks and Esplen, while the McKees Rocks Bridge and West End Bridge connect the river's north and south shores. Beyond the industrial corridors, the terrain rises into the boroughs of Dormont, Mount Lebanon, and Crafton, which are characterized by a tight network of schools and churches.
