Pittsburgh Week

This week I am attending the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) meeting in Pittsburgh so I haven't had time for a proper blog post. There's lots of great stuff here that may make for future blog posts but in the meantime here are a few random maps I've come across.

Here is a map of the original Fort Pitt, located on its site at Point State Park. The park and fort remains are located at the confluence of the three rivers (really two rivers coming together) and the location just feels  important. This is a look out from the point with another map in the ground, looking out at the newly formed Ohio River,

and a view from above on Mount Washington.

I got up and down Mount Washington via the two remaining incline railroads. Here is the busiest part of a map hanging at the incline station of all the historic inclines.

I took number 2 up and number 4 back down, the rest are gone.

Finally, a NACIS tradition is the quilt - using maps various members create of the host city, pieced together.
