About this map

Peoria and Glendale anchor this 2011 survey, showing the dense residential and educational landscape of the northwest Phoenix valley. The map documents significant institutional footprints, including the Arizona State University West Campus and Grand Canyon University, alongside specialized sites like the Airscrew Performance Ultralight Flightpark. Residential developments are minutely detailed, with named neighborhoods such as Cottonwood Ranch, Weedville, and Thunderbird Palms II filling the grid between major thoroughfares like W Cactus Rd and W Northern Ave.

Tracing the natural geography, New River and Skunk Creek traverse the northwestern corner, providing a contrast to the highly engineered urban environment. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the precise locations of the Glendale Memorial Cemetery, Resthaven Cemetery, and the Russian Molokan Cemetery particularly valuable. Leisure spaces like the Glen Lakes Golf Course and Maryvale Golf Course are also clearly delineated, reflecting the community's layout at the start of the decade.
