Mogollon Plateau
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mogollon Plateau or Mogollon Mesa (
/mʌɡɨˈjoʊn/ or /moʊɡəˈjoʊn/)[1] is a pine-covered southern plateau section of the larger Colorado Plateau in east-central Arizona. The southern boundary of the plateau is the Mogollon Rim. The Mogollon Plateau is 2,135-2,440 meters high. The plateau lends its name to the Mogollon tribe, part of the Cochise-Mogollan peoples who inhabited this and nearby areas from 5,000 to 2,500 years ago. Their descendants are believed to include the Anasazi.
