Living in Maricopa
The City of Maricopa sits in Pinal County, south of the greater Phoenix area, and is a separate place from Maricopa County, which covers Phoenix and most of the Valley. State Route 347 is the city's main route, running north from the city toward the Wild Horse Pass area and the Phoenix metro, and south toward the Ak-Chin Indian Community, which lies just beyond the city limits. The city grew up in the open Sonoran Desert, and its neighborhoods are set among wide, flat stretches of desert and agricultural land.
