At Fort Duquesne, or Pittsburgh, where the river takes a sudden northerly bend before finally settling in swelling volume on its southwesterly course to the Mississippi, the Monongahela adds its mountain current, which separates in its entire course from the Virginia line the two counties of Fayette and Washington.

Friendship Hill is one of the bluffs on the right bank of the river, and faces the Laurel Ridge to the eastward.
