Mining operations and indigenous settlements define this arid stretch of the Papago Indian Reservation at the junction of Pinal, Maricopa, and Pima counties. The landscape is characterized by the rugged Vekol Mountains to the northeast and the Cimarron Mountains to the south, with the namesake Copperosity Hills rising centrally. Industrial history is etched into the terrain at the Vekol Mine and Copperosity Mine, while smaller workings like the Greenback Mine and Papago Mine suggest a period of active mineral exploration.
