They are separated from the Pedrogosa Mountains to the southeast, the Chiricahua's to the northeast, and by Leslie Creek, bordering the south and east; the area is now notable for the Leslie Canyon National Wildlife Refuge. The mountain range is named for John Swisshelm, a miner, a local settler of the late 1900s.[3] RangeThe range is a north-south range, with three notable peaks. In the south, Swisshelm Mountain is the highest at {{convert|7185|ft|m|0}}. In the north, an unnamed peak is 5225 ft, and is adjacent to Whitewater Draw of the lower stretch of Rucker Creek. A second unnamed peak is in the northeast, at 5847 ft and also adjacent to Rucker Creek. Leslie Creek forms the eastern and southern border of the Swisshelm Mountains. The Chiricahua's are directly adjacent eastwards; the Pedregosa Mountains are southeast and are drained by a tributary of Leslie Creek, Big Bend Creek. The communities of Elfrida and McNeal are directly west of the Swisshelm's in the Sulphur Springs Valley; Douglas and Agua Prieta, Sonora are due south at about {{convert|15|mi|km|0}}. The historical area of Sunizona, Arizona is northwest-(Pearce, Arizona). See also
