Geographic Description of Legislative District 10

Approximately 80 percent of this district lies within the borders of Phoenix. The remainder (approximately five square miles) is a wedge-shaped slice taken from the middle of Glendale. To the north lies District 6, to the east and south is District 11; also to the south are District 12 and District 15. District 9 lies to the west. On its north side, this district is a three-mile strip of Phoenix south of Bell Rd., from 51st Ave. on the west to I-17 on the east. The district line follows I-17 south to Thunderbird Rd. and then east to 19th Ave., where it jogs south one-half mile to Sweetwater Ave. It then extends east and meets up with Thunderbird as the latter roadway curves south through the mountain pass. Where it meets up with Cactus and Cave Creek roads, the district line goes south through the Dreamy Draw for about two miles roughly along an alignment with 20th St. At Butler Dr. it heads west to Seventh St. where it jogs north to the next miler (Dunlap Rd.) and continues west along Dunlap to 19th Ave., where it goes south one-half mile to Butler. The line crosses I-17 to 29th Ave. and then jogs one-half mile south to Northern. At 51st Ave., having crossed into Glendale, the line zig-zags northwest to 67th Ave. and Olive (also known as Dunlap) then north for one mile to Peoria Ave., where it begins another zig-zag course, this time northeast through residential neighborhoods to 51st Ave. The line then extends north along 51st Ave. to Bell Rd. The major retail center within the district is Metro Center. Glendale Community College lies within the district, as does John C. Lincoln Hospital North Mountain.
