Phoenix Maps and Orientation

(Phoenix, Arizona - AZ, USA)



Forming the biggest urban area within America's Southwest, the city of Phoenix resides close to the heart of Arizona, being located within the Sonoran Desert and serving as the seat of Maricopa County. Phoenix actually ranks amongst America's biggest cities in terms of land size and boasts an enormous metropolitan area.

Surrounded by towering mountain ranges, several suburb towns and cities come together to make the metropolitan area named Greater Phoenix (or 'Valley of the Sun'), with the city forming the core. These 'suburbs' include the likes of Mesa, Scottsdale and Tempe, as well as Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria and Surprise.

In the city of Phoenix itself, Central Avenue heads north to south, roughly dividing east from west. In the city center, Washington Street is a prominent thoroughfare heading east to west, running parallel with the Papago Freeway / Interstate I-10 (north) and the Maricopa Freeway / Interstate I-17 (south).
