1996 Map of Silver Bell West

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

The Silver Bell Mine dominates this Pima County landscape, its extensive open-pit operations and associated Mine Shafts carved into the eastern slopes of the West Silver Bell Mountains. This 1996 data reveals a transition zone where heavy industrial extraction meets the protected lands of the Ironwood Forest National Monument. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation, marked by the seasonal drainage of Mammoth Wash and Tiro Wash. Historically significant landmarks include the Silverbell (Site) and the Silver Bell Cemetery, preserving the footprint of earlier mining generations. Rugged volcanic and sedimentary formations like Quartzite Peak, Jesuit Hill, and Malpais Hill define the topographic character, while isolated Prospects scattered across the range suggest the broader search for mineral wealth that shaped this desert region.
