2021 Map of Sunnyslope

About this map

Sunnyslope sits at the heart of this urban landscape, where the dense residential grid of northern Phoenix meets the sharp rises of the Phoenix Mountains. The map highlights the complex relationship between the desert topography and modern development, with neighborhoods like Palmas Royale and Villa Novena tucked between prominent peaks such as Shaw Butte, North Mtn, and Piestewa Peak Phoenix Mountains. Significant educational and religious institutions are distributed throughout the area, including the SAGU American Indian College and the Church of the Beatitudes Columbarium. Water management remains a primary feature of the desert environment, evidenced by the large-scale engineering of the Arizona Canal and the Grand Canal visible in the southern reaches. An extensive network of recreational paths, such as the Trail 100 Trl and The Perl Charles Trl, weaves through the preserved mountain terrain, bridging the gap between urban centers like The Pointe and the open slopes of Moon Mtn.
