Keno Hill is a mountain (hill) ENE of Galena Hill. It is also the official name of a townsite that is locally known as "Keno City", which is nestled between Keno and Sourdough Hills. A group of silver-lead-zinc mines clustered on Keno Hill and the adjacent Galena Hill were major producers of silver, lead, zinc and cadmium in the 1940s and 1950s, exploiting the large Galena Hill-Keno Hill deposit.
