Raven Hill lies in the southwest part of the central volcanic area. At its west base is the town of Anaconda and on its lower south slope the town of Elkton. On the southwest Guyot Hill forms a prominent spur, while on the northeast a gently sloping saddle joins Rayen Hill with the higher Bull Hill.

The prevailing rock of Raven Hill is phonolitic breccia, cut by numerous dikes of phonolite and "basalt." This breccia is bounded on the west by Cripple Creek granite and on the south by Pikes Peak granite.

The mines of Raven Hill, which are numerous and important, are mostly on the western and southern slopes. Between Anaconda and the summit of the hill is a group comprising the Morning Glory, Doctor-Jackpot, Ingham, Mattie D., and Elizabeth Cooper mines. Immediately west of this group is the Mary McKinney mine, with workings extending under Anaconda into Gold Hill. South of the Mary McKinney, on the north ·slope of Guyot Hill, are the Aileen and Katinka mines. On the south slope of Raven Hill are the Gregory, Tornado, Elkton, and Thompson mines, all owned by the Elkton company. On the southeastern slope is the Moose mine, and on the summit are the Joe Dandy and Ida May mines.
