Mogollon Rim is a series of cliffs and canyons across Arizona. This geological feature extends across the northern part of Yavapai County over a distance of 200 miles (320 km) eastwards towards the border with New Mexico.

The Mogollon Rim is a rugged escarpment on the southwestern limits of the Colorado Plateau. It was caused by erosion and faulting, which created limestone and sandstone cliffs and canyons. The feature was named after Don Juan Ignacio Flores Mogollón, the Spanish Governor of New Mexico between 1712-1715.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
