Sierra del Tigre

Sierra del Tigre is a mountain range in northeastern Sonora, Mexico, on the northern edge of the Sierra Madre Occidental and part of the Madrean Sky Islands, where isolated highlands rise above surrounding desert and grassland. Within the Plains of Sonora, it forms a distinct habitat linked to nearby protected riparian and grassland areas across the border region. The range also figured in Apache borderlands history as the home of the Janeros local group of the Nednhi-Chiricahua Apache, led in the 1870s by Juh, and it remained one of the last strongholds of Apache resistance, with Mexican and U.S. forces searching these mountains into the 1930s.
