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]
