A bronze sculpture of Seneca leader Guyasuta and George Washington overlooks the partially frozen Ohio River on a frosty day in Pittsburgh, Jan. 24, 2025. Point of View is a piece by James A. West which depicts the face-to-face meeting of these men in October 1770 when Washington was in the region examining land for future settlement. The roots of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would later be established by General Washington when he appointed the first chief of engineers on June 16, 1775. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District, known as the Headwaters of the Ohio, is responsible for operating 23 navigable locks and dams on the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers, as well as managing 16 reservoirs throughout the region.
