Yep. There are a lot of these out here in the southwest. I've even
seen a
few that were designated as street patterns, then during one of the
inevitable housing booms, were resurrected into actual neighborhoods.

Do you have any lat/lon coordinates?

It sounds like it could be an interesting Google Earth trip.


There's one at N32.554, W111.717. I have heard that there is one of these in this area south of Phoenix
that is an old World War II Japanese interment camp. Not sure if this is it. It doesn't look like it on Google
Earth (named streets and some houses).

That would be the Gila River camp, which is he

It looks abandoned.

The place you're looking at seems to be just another one of those abandoned or
underdeveloped subdivisions that one sees in areas like Phoenix.

Yes, that's the spot I was looking for. Interesting curving pattern of irrigated farm fields to the northwest
makes it easy to spot. However, I don't see that one on the sectional or TAC with the "street pattern"
identification. I guess it's just viewed to be not that clearly visible as a landmark. The historical aspect is
interesting, however.

heres two

N36-17, W115-58
N35-57, W115-53

There are some street layouts like this just west and just south of E60
in Eloy, AZ. They aren't listed as "street pattern" on the chart, and
they aren't completely vacant - there are a few houses - but they're
pretty bare.

N32.797, W111.601 or

Yes, the Eloy street pattern is one of the biggest I've seen. It's
huge, but it's never been marked on the charts because of chart
clutter. Somebody must have lost a fortune on that development.

There is a street pattern that is marked on the charts, due south
of Arizona City (SW of Eloy). Here it is on google :

This is apparently what it means. I also took a closer look at the
Phoenix terminal chart (not the sectional) and found a lot more "street
patterns" marked.

Thanks for all the responses!
