Three Way is a small, unincorporated community located in Greenlee County, Arizona, in the United States. It gets its name because it sits right where three important roads meet. This makes it a notable spot in the area.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place that does not have its own local government. This means it is not officially a city or town. Instead, it is usually managed by the county it is in. For Three Way, this means Greenlee County handles things like roads and services.
These communities are often smaller. They might not have a mayor or a town council. People living there still follow state and county laws. Many small settlements across the United States are unincorporated.
Where is Three Way Located?
Three Way is found in the eastern part of Arizona. It is about 9 miles (14 kilometers) southeast of a town called Clifton. Its exact location is at the meeting point of three major roads.
These roads are U.S. Route 191, State Route 75, and State Route 78. Because of this, it is a key intersection for travelers in the region. The community is in a desert area, typical of much of Arizona.
