Geocache Description:

past civilization

In the past century, Pittsburgh city thrived with the steel mill economy. Many of the hills overlooking the rivers were dotted with homesteads.

Some of the old streets can still be inferred from reading old maps, like at Historic Maps website.

Now, the vegetation and forest has taken over the remains.

Cache is a metal toolbox.

The most scenic approach is from the Calvary Catholic Cemetery. Reach the high point where several giant antennas are standing, 40 24.718 79 55.869. Then, behind one of the antennas, spot a trail (40 24.662 79 55.941) and follow it as it stays on the crest of the hills and reaches a couple of saddle points before descending towards Electric St in Hazelwood. One of the hilltops nearby is littered with concrete chunks of former public housing projects that have been demolished. This trail is the former Rosselle St in the 1923 city map.
