Lime Kiln Mountain is a long ridge in Taney County in the Ozarks of southern Missouri.[1] The ridge reaches an elevation of 1,330 feet (410 m) at 36°36′13″N 92°53′22″W / 36.60361°N 92.88944°W / 36.60361; -92.88944.[2] U.S. Route 160 traverses the ridgeline from Rueter in the southeast to Hilda in the northwest for a distance of approximately 7.5 mi (12.1 km).[3] Cane Creek, a tributary of Beaver Creek, runs roughly parallel to the ridge along the northeast.[3]

Lime Kiln Mountain was named for a lime kiln which was active in the 19th century.[4]
