1964 Map of Currys Corner

About this map

Paradise Valley is captured here during a period of significant suburban expansion, where the desert landscape meets the advancing Phoenix Corporate Boundary and Scottsdale Corporate Boundary. The map illustrates the transition from open land to residential development, particularly around Paradise Valley Park and the Paradise Valley High Sch. A mix of recreation and utility infrastructure is evident, with the Ironwood Golf Course and Sahkoo Park interspersed among essential desert facilities like the Pinnacle Peak Substation and various wells. Distinctive landmarks such as Pinnacle Peak and the seasonal path of Cave Creek anchor the northern terrain. The road network, including Scottsdale Road and Tatum Blvd, provides the framework for the emerging neighborhood blocks that would soon define this part of Maricopa County.
