1965 Map of Sunnyslope

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Sunnyslope and the northern reaches of Phoenix are depicted during a period of rapid mid-century expansion into the surrounding desert. The landscape is defined by the stark contrast between the dense residential grid and the prominent peaks of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, including Shaw Butte, North Mountain, and Squaw Peak. This 1965 survey, updated with late-1970s aerial photography, shows the encroachment of the suburban sprawl toward the community of Cactus.
