Phoenix

Sector 33N-112W

The gigantic desert metropolis Phoenix is the capital of the state of Arizona. Though its name invokes ancient imagery, in truth its modern origins are remarkably recent, having been settled less than two hundred years ago by Anglo-Americans, and named partially in honor of the Hohokam canal system, as a town "rising from the ashes of an ancient civilization". The sprawl thrives primarily off the water drained from other parts of Arizona, such as the Salt River lakes to the northeast, and from the distant Colorado River; this is one of the largest sprawls in any desert on the planet, spilling over into the Mesa sector to the east.
