Arizona's capital city is Phoenix.  Other major cities found on the Arizona map include Tucson, Mesa, Glendale, Scottsdale, and Tempe.  Except for Tucson, most of the the larger cities are located in the southern part of the State, near Phoenix.  In 2005, the population of Arizona was estimated at 5,953,007, which is about 52.3 people per square mile.  The State's primary interstate highways include I-8, I-10, and I-17, as well as I-19 and I-40.

The name Arizona is derived from the Pima Indian word "Ari-son," which means "place of the little spring."  Northern Arizona's Colorado Plateau is cut by many steep canyons, including the Grand Canyon through which the Colorado River flows.  The State's scenic attractions include the Petrified Forest, Hoover Dam, and Fort Apache, as well as the reconstructed London Bridge at Lake Havasu.  For additional Arizona travel and tourism information, visit the official Arizona tourism site and Arizona Atlas.
