Hilltop is a Ghost town situated in Cochise County, Arizona, United States.[2] Hilltop was discovered in the 1880s and was a successful mining town in the 1900s. Their economy declined steadily until the 1940s when Hilltop became a ghost town. The Hilltop Post office was erected on June 26, 1920, serving the local community.[3] The most notable achievement of the town was their purchase of an automobile in 1913 which they cherished and took great care of, using it to export minerals and ores.[4] Hilltop has an estimated elevation of 5,702 feet (1,738 m) above sea level in the Chiricahua Mountains on the border of Arizona and New Mexico.[1]
