| | The Mogollon: Prehistoric People of the Desert Southwest - DesertUSA |
 | | On the higher peaks, at elevations from about 9500 to 11,500 feet – the windiest, wettest and coldest environment in the Mogollon region – spruce and fir trees dominate, reaching the timber line and growing in dense stands along the banks of streams and the edges of alpine meadows. |
| | The desert basins, dissected by mountain washes and streams and by a very few rivers, lie between the elevations of 1000 and 4500 feet. |
| | In the desert basins, they harvested the fruit and the roots of the yuccas, bloom stalks of the agave, the fruits and pads of the prickly pear cacti, the seed pods of the devilsclaws, the beans of the honey mesquite and the acorns of the shinnery oak. |
