Pittsburgh geography:
Pittsburgh is located at the head of the Ohio River, which is formed by the confluence of the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River. It is also situated in the Allegheny Mountains, part of the Appalachian mountain chain separating the East Coast and the Great Plains. The combination of hills and rivers results in Pittsburgh having more bridges , it has been claimed, than Venice does. The hills, rivers, and bridges combine with a notable lack of steel mills to produce a truly lovely city, with picturesque views around almost every corner.
