About this map

Midwestern University stands as a central academic anchor in this densely developed area of northern Phoenix during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by its transition from the valley floor into the prominent foothills of the Hedgpeth Hills and Ludden Mountain. Residential growth is deeply established here, mapped through a network of dozens of subdivisions like Arrowhead Ranch, Saddlehorn Ranch, and Lexington Place. The area’s hydrological character is visible in the paths of the New River and Skunk Creek, which cut through the suburban grid.

Transport and recreation are key facets of this community, with the Arrowhead Post Office serving the local population and McGills Ultralight Field providing a specialized aviation landmark. Outdoor spaces and leisure are represented by the Bellair Golf Course and numerous smaller neighborhood developments such as Verde Real and Desert Pines. The map captures the sophisticated urban planning of the era, where complex residential street patterns meet the natural elevations of West Wing Mountain and East Wing Mountain.
