About this map

The Salt River corridor anchors the southern half of this urban survey, where the river's bed cuts through the Salt River Valley just south of downtown Phoenix. This 2018 record shows a landscape defined by an extensive grid of irrigation and transport, including the Grand Canal and the branching San Francisco Canal N Br and San Francisco Canal S Br. This irrigation infrastructure remains a critical component of the metropolitan footprint, even as residential neighborhoods like South Phoenix, Villa Monte Vista, and Citrus Hills fill the spaces between the canals.

Institutional and commemorative history is prominent throughout the map, particularly the cluster of historic burial grounds west of the center. Genealogists and local historians can trace the locations of Beth El Cem, Greenwood Memory Lawn Cem, and Porter Cem. The eastern edge is dominated by Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, while academic footprints like the Arizona State Univ Downtown Phoenix Campus illustrate the modern educational infrastructure integrated into the city's historic core.
