Peach Springs (Walapai: Hàkđugwi:v[4]) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Mohave County, Arizona, United States.

[1] The community is mainly on the north side of Yampai Canyon, drained by west-flowing Truxton Wash. As of the census[6] of 2000, there were 600 people, 166 households, and 139 families residing in the CDP.

Route 66 brought large numbers of cross-country travellers through the town until Interstate 40 was opened 25 miles (40 km) to the south in 1978.

I-40 shortened the highway distance from Kingman to Seligman by 14 miles (23 km) at the expense of turning villages like Truxton, Valentine and Hackberry into overnight ghost towns.

Peach Springs survived as the administrative base of the Hualapai tribe but suffered irreparable economic damage.

In 2007, the Hualapai Tribe received a $28,000 federal matching grant to rehabilitate the building,[8] which has yet to re-open but which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.

The creators of the movie took a research trip along Route 66, visiting many small towns and drawing inspiration from their unique character and charm.
