About Linden
Linden is an unincorporated community located in Navajo County, Arizona, United States, just west of the city of Show Low. It is situated atop the Mogollon Rim at an elevation of over 6,000 feet. The community was evacuated in June 2002 due to the Rodeo-Chediski fire, which eventually consumed part of Linden, destroying a number of homes.
Linden is generally made up of larger ranches and rural subdivisions, including Cheney Ranch and Timberland Acres. As an unincorporated community with few businesses, many Linden residents make their livings in or around the city of Show Low.
Linden's former fire district has been merged into the Timber Mesa Fire and Medical District, along with those of Show Low and Lakeside. Law enforcement is performed by Navajo County Sheriff's Office and Arizona Department of Public Safety.
