About this map

The Salt River corridor and its surrounding urban expansion define this early 21st-century portrait of western Phoenix. Highlighting a dense network of residential subdivisions, the map illustrates the development of neighborhoods such as Maryvale Terrace, Sunrise Terrace, and Young America Homes. These planned communities are interspersed with essential local infrastructure, including the Capitol Post Office and the Phoenix District Airport. The landscape is framed by long-established water management systems like the Grand Canal, which persists alongside modern recreational spaces such as the Maryvale Golf Course.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the detailed plotting of community anchors. The map identifies specific local sites such as the Work Circle Cemetery and Beth Israel Cemetery located near the eastern boundary, as well as distinct settlement areas like Fowler, Alhambra, and Santa Maria. This record documents the transition of the Salt River valley from its agricultural roots into a fully integrated part of the Phoenix metropolitan fabric.
