In March 2006, the Bureau of Land Management determined and the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office 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 Indigenous tribes.[5]
Boundary Cone was a prominent landmark for early travelers in this region.
