About this map

Mummy Mtn and the iconic Camelback Mtn anchor this modern-era portrait of the affluent residential landscape between Phoenix and Scottsdale. The 2014 survey documents a mature network of named subdivisions and planned communities, including McCormick Ranch, Gainey Ranch, and Sweetwater Ranch. The presence of the Arizona Canal and the Indian Bend Wash corridors illustrates the critical role of water management in the development of the Salt River Valley, where flood control channels and historic irrigation routes have been integrated into the urban fabric.

Notable landmarks such as the Scottsdale Airport and the Scottsdale Culinary Institute represent the region's specialized economic and infrastructure growth. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies essential locations such as Paradise Memorial Gardens and Camelback Cem, while hikers and outdoor enthusiasts can trace the Trail 100 - E and geological features like The Praying Monk within Echo Canyon.
