2011 Map of Union Hills

About this map

The Union Hills and Adobe Mountain rise above the dense residential developments of north Phoenix in the early twenty-first century. This landscape is defined by its water management and transportation infrastructure, dominated by the N Black Canyon Hwy and the extensive Central Arizona Project CSR canal system. The northern reaches remain less developed, featuring the Cave Creek Reservoir and the Cave Buttes Rec Area, while the southern half of the quadrangle is a grid of suburban neighborhoods including Moon Valley, Paradise City, and Wild Flower. Aviation is a central theme, with the sprawling Phoenix Deer Valley Municipal Airport and the smaller Turf Airport serving the region. Religious and commemorative sites like the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona and Phoenix Memorial Park provide significant local landmarks amidst the rapid residential growth of Maricopa County.
