Cordes Lakes
Among the communities of central Arizona, Cordes Lakes stands out for its position beside the junction of Interstate 17 and State Route 69. The settlement occupies open uplands in Yavapai County, east of the Bradshaw Mountains. Interstate 17 is the principal north–south route between Phoenix and Flagstaff, while SR 69 heads west toward Prescott, making this a key road crossroads for travel through the region. Low, rocky hills and widely spaced homes give Cordes Lakes a distinctly different scale from Arizona’s major urban areas. The nearby Bradshaw Mountains are associated with the nineteenth-century mining boom that shaped settlement across this part of the state. Cordes Lakes helps define the meeting point of busy highways, former mining country and high-desert residential communities.

Set in high desert country near the Bradshaw Mountains, it occupies a quieter part of Yavapai County between the Phoenix basin and northern Arizona’s uplands. The community takes its name from John Henry Cordes, a 19th-century settler associated with a stage station in this part of Arizona. Interstate 17 passes nearby on the route between Phoenix and Flagstaff, while the surrounding terrain marks a transition from desert lowlands to higher, juniper-dotted country.

Arizona is renowned in the United States for the Grand Canyon, carved by the Colorado River in the state’s north. Its terrain extends from the Sonoran Desert, where saguaro cacti define the south, to ponderosa pine forests and the high plateaus of the Colorado Plateau. The red-rock country around Sedona and the sandstone buttes of Monument Valley are enduring symbols of the American Southwest. Indigenous heritage remains central: Arizona is home to 22 federally recognized tribes, including the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe. Historic Route 66 also passes through northern communities such as Flagstaff and Kingman. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Arizona.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
