Swisshelm Park History Map

About this map
A community history map of the Swisshelm Park neighborhood of Pittsburgh (with Duck Hollow and the Nine Mile Run valley), 1800s–today. Sources and credits: see the project page. Next door: the Frick Park History Map. Photos (●), events (◆), street histories (━), lost roads (╍), the old city line (┈), and census residents (●) for Swisshelm Park, Duck Hollow, and Nine Mile Run. Photo spots and some event spots are estimates; click any item for its confidence and source. Plats are georeferenced by matching street corners (typical error 5–15 m); USGS topos use their own coordinates (a few meters); the 1938 aerial is a single tilted photo (20–50 m error at the edges).
