About this map

The West Silver Bell Mountains dominate this Pima County landscape, where copper mining operations have long shaped the terrain. Industrial footprints are evident at the El Tiro Pit and Oxide Pit, supported by infrastructure such as the Kurtz Shaft and the Mammoth Incline. These workings are concentrated around Silverbell and the primary settlement of Silver Bell, which is anchored by the Silver Bell Post Office.

Ephemeral drainages including Silver Bell Wash and Mammoth Wash carve through the arid topography between named heights like Jesuit Hill and Union Hill. For those researching local heritage, the Silver Bell Cemetery sits north of the main settlement area. The network of W Silverbell Rd and Redrock Ln provides the primary access to these mining districts and scattered landmarks like Portland Ridge.
