The Mogollon is one of the four major archaeological Prehistoric Southwestern Cultural Divisions of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico. The American Indian culture known as the Mogollon lived in the southwest from approximately AD 150 until sometime between AD 1400 and AD 1450. The name Mogollon comes from the Mogollon Mountains, which were named after Don Juan Ignacio Flores Mogoll?n, Spanish Governor of New Mexico from 1712-1715. Research on Mogollon culture has led to the recognition of regional variants, of which the most widely recognized in popular media is the ''Mimbres culture'' (Mimbres Mogollon branch). Others include the Jornada, Forestdale, Reserve, Point of Pines (or ''Black River''), San Simon, and Upper Gila branches. Although the Mimbres culture is the most well-known subset of the Mogollon archaeological culture-area, the entire Mogollon occupation spans a greater interval of time (roughly one millennium) and a vastly larger area than is encompassed by the Mimbres culture.
