O'odham, Yavapai, Hopi, Diné, Quechan, Apache, Puebloan, and many many others' land. The Sonoran Desert Region includes Southern Arizona north to the Mogollon Rim, the southeastern corner of California, the state of Sonora, the Baja California peninsula, the Gulf of California, and many adjacent biotic communities, such as portions of the Colorado Plateau, Mojave, and Chihuahan Deserts.
