About this map

The suburban development of the West Valley is meticulously documented in this 2014 survey, which reveals a dense grid of residential subdivisions and educational institutions. From Peoria to Glendale, the landscape is defined by named developments like Weedville, San Miguel, and Cheyenne Village. The map highlights the significant concentration of higher education in this corridor, including Arizona State University at the West Campus, Grand Canyon University, and the Thunderbird School of Global Management.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of several burial grounds, such as the Russian Molokan Cemetery and Resthaven Park West Cemetery. Natural drainage features like Skunk Creek and the New River cut diagonally across the urban street grid, while major thoroughfares such as West Olive Avenue and West Thunderbird Road provide the framework for these growing Arizona communities.
