About this map

The Central Arizona Project Aqueduct winds through this urbanizing corridor north of Phoenix, marking a landscape where high-desert terrain meets modern infrastructure. To the west, Adobe Mtn overlooks the Phoenix Deer Valley Airport, while to the east, the Cave Creek Reservoir sits at the foot of the Union Hills. This 2014 survey documents the dense residential development characterizing the era, featuring a mosaic of named communities such as Moon Valley, Paradise Valley, and Palm Lakes Village.

Beyond the suburban grid, the northern edge of the map preserves a network of trails including the Great Horned Owl Trail and Cactus Wren Trail, providing a clear view of how the city interfaces with the natural desert washes. Institutional and recreational landmarks, from the Paradise Valley Community Coll to Phoenix Memorial Park, are precisely mapped, showing the established social fabric of these North Valley neighborhoods.
