On the map … Laveen & Ahwatukee are communities within Phoenix city limits. Anthem, Rio Verde/Tonto Verde, Sun City, Sun City West and Sun Lakes are not incorporated and therefore governed by Maricopa County. All others named on the map are incorporated municipalties.
The area is largely continuous with indistinguishable municipal borders.
