Boundary Cone is a geologic promontory located in the western foothills of the Black Mountains, Mohave County, Arizona.[1] The peak is to the east-northeast of the Mohave Valley along the Colorado River, north of Needles, CA, and south of Bullhead City, AZ. The peak is about 4 mi. southwest of the mountain community of Oatman, Arizona.

In March 2006, the BLM determined and the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (AZ SHPO) concurred that Boundary Cone is eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places as a property of traditional, religious, and cultural importance to several Indian tribes.[1]
