History
The original route from Phoenix to Prescott was a little more westerly, via Bumble Bee and Mayer. This road is now a dirt road. Prescott is an important city in Arizona and was twice the capital of the Arizona Territory in the late 1800s. In the early 20th century, Prescott was only slightly smaller than Phoenix. State Route 69 was created in 1938 as a connection between Phoenix and Prescott. In the late 1960s, the route was shortened to Cordes Lakes, as Interstate 17 was completed.
State Route 69 is the main connection to the Prescott region. Prescott and Prescott Valley together have more than 80,000 residents and are the largest metropolitan region in the state that is not located on a highway. In the early 1990s, only a short stretch on the east side of Prescott had 2×2 lanes, the rest was single-lane. The road was widened to 2×2 lanes in the 1990s.

State Route 71 is a state route in the U.S. state of Arizona. The road forms a bypass of the Wickenburg region and is 39 kilometers long.
Travel directions
State Route 71 connects US 60 near the hamlet of Aguila with State Route 89 in the village of Congress, passing west and north of the town of Wickenburg. It also crosses US 93. The road is single-lane and runs through the desert, mainly through flat terrain, but there are some barren mountain ridges in the area.
History
State Route 71 was one of the original state routes of Arizona from 1927. State Route 71 originally ran between US 180 at Safford and US 60 at Eagar, a north-south route in eastern Arizona that is now formed by the US 191. In 1936 the number was assigned to the current route around Wickenburg. The road mainly handles through traffic from I-10 towards Prescott, eliminating the need to make the detour through Wickenburg.
Traffic intensities
Every day 500 vehicles drive between US 60 and US 93 and 500 vehicles between US 93 and Congress. State Route 71 is therefore very light.

History
State Route 72 was added to the network of state routes in Arizona in 1930, from US 60 to the California border at Parker. At the time, the road was an unpaved dirt road. Between 1935 and 1939 the section between Parker and Bouse was asphalted, and the section further to US 60 was asphalted in 1940. In the 1950s, the double numbering with State Route 95 was removed, so that State Route 72 no longer started on the border with California.
