Heth's Run - March 12

Winter's grasp weakened again and this Saturday was perfect for the riverfront walk I can tak directly from my Sheridan Avenue Estate. I started by generally following the path of a raindrop. Before sewers rain landing on Sheridan Avenue flowed toward Heth's Run and then to the Allegheny River.
But, now to follow the flow of a raindrop you need a map.

In the last decade of the 19th century Highland Park was built up and sewer lines dug and put down. At that point most of the water from our Sheridan Estate would flow into the sewers and flow down to the sewer beneath Haights Ave instead of down Heth's Run.
