	The Rainbow Plateau and the Mogollon Rim
		The Mogollon Rim is a land of seemingly impossible contrasts.
		This 200-mile-long maze of canyons and jumbled ridges is Arizona’s Mogollon (pronounced Muggy-own) Rim.
		South of the rim, the earth is scarred by canyons that form the roughest terrain north of the Mexican border.

	Mogollon Rim Guide
		The rim itself begins just east of the New Mexico border and stretches two thirds of the way across Arizona; the area we refer to as the Rim includes Payson and its smaller neighbors, the communities of Pine, Strawberry and Christopher Creek.
		To do the whole Mogollon Rim Loop, head east out of Payson on Highway 260 to Heber, then bear left at Highway 277 and follow it for about seven miles to the junction of Highway 377.
		Located at the top of the Rim, 36 miles east of Payson on Highway 260, WCL, like the other lakes in the area, is in a forested area that looks as much like the Pacific Northwest as northeastern Arizona.

	Mogollon Rim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mogollon Rim (pronounced /ˈmʌgiˌjɑn/ by local residents) is a topographical and geological feature running across the U.S. state of Arizona.
		The Rim is an escarpment defining the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau, and along its central and most spectacular portions is characterized by high limestone and sandstone cliffs.
		The Mogollon Rim's limestones and sandstones were formed from sediments deposited in the Carboniferous and Permian periods.

		The rim itself is a dramatic, 200-mile geological fault that spans central Arizona and abruptly separates the desert flatlands from the lofty high country.
		The rim may be white or cream at one viewpoint, blue-gray at another, and rusty red at a third.
		In earlier days, the rim was the rocky barrier that prevented south-to-north exploration of the state; today, it is a pleasant 90-minute drive from the Valley via State Route 87.

	Geographic Focal Areas
		Arizona's magnificent Grand Canyon may be the number-one geological wonder of the world, but the Mogollon Rim, an escarpment running in a northwest-to-southeast diagonal line fifty to one hundred and fifty miles south of the canyon, serves, by far, as the most purposeful Arizona geologic feature.
		The Mogollon Rim is an extended and uniform geologic monocline or fold consequent to the region's plate tectonics, which formed it about thirty million years ago.
		Because the Mogollon Rim monoclinal corridor is such an integrated feature of the obvious heartland of this region, its intrinsic nature as well as its geographic influence should, logically, be considered a "core feature" of the "Southwest." Prehistoric cultures flourished and endured due to the soil and water made possible by the Mogollon Rim.

	Introduction to Mogollon Culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Mogollon Culture evolved in the southwestern corner of New Mexico and extended along the Mogollon Rim into east-central and southeast Arizona and southward into the Chihuahua region of northern Mexico.
		The Mogollon seem to have developed from an earlier culture, the Cochise, an archaic culture of small nomadic bands who lived in the more mountainous parts of the territory.
		Mogollon pottery tends to be constructed of iron-rich volcanic clays, which almost invariably fired to a dark brown.

		In the photo Isaac is seen lying on the soft grass bedding that covered the floor of the rear half of the cave.
		As noted by a geologist attending the expedition, the floors of the other caves/overhangs along the canyon were covered with jagged rocks that had fallen from the ceiling.

		The Mogollon Rim is known for its stands of ponderosa pine, which comprise the largest ponderosa pine forest in the United States.
		From 35,000 to 21,000 years ago it appears most of the rim in this area was covered by a mixed-conifer forest, evidence of a climate cooler and wetter than that seen today.

	SIR 2004-5294
		The Mogollon Highlands, 4,855 square miles of rugged, mountainous terrain at the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau in central Arizona, is characterized by a bedrock-dominated hydrologic system that results in an incompletely integrated regional ground-water system, flashy streamflow, and various local water-bearing zones that are sensitive to drought.
		The area adjacent to the edge of the Mogollon Rim is an erosional landscape of rolling, step-like terrain exposing Proterozoic metamorphic and granitic rocks.
		Vertical flow from the C aquifer, the base of which is in the Schnebly Hill Formation, recharges the limestone aquifer that discharges mainly at Fossil Springs in the western part of the study area and as base flow in Cibecue Creek on the eastern edge of the study area.
