Keyger Mountain
Mountain ridge in the American state of Missouri
Keyger Mountain is an irregular mountain ridge in Douglas and Christian counties in the Ozarks of southern Missouri.[1]
The ridgeline extends from just east of Keltner in Christian County[2] northeast to Tigris Peak along Missouri Route 14 in Douglas County.[3] Several peaks along the ridge exceed 1650 feet with the highest at 1703 feet at the Painter Benchmark along Missouri Route 14 1000 feet west of the Route 14-Missouri Route AK junction.[3] Bounding streams include Little Beaver Creek along the east and southeast; Swan Creek on the northwest; Boulder Fork along the southwest; and tributaries of Beaver Creek along the northeast.[2][3]
The Keyger Mountain ridgeline is connected to the southern margin of the Springfield Plateau by a narrow ridge between the previously mentioned Painter Benchmark to the community of Dogwood 1.5 miles to the north.[3]
