Nature
Lime Kiln Mountain is a long Ozark ridge in Taney County, southern Missouri, rising to about 1,330 feet and extending roughly 7.5 miles. U.S. Route 160 follows its ridgeline from Rueter in the southeast to Hilda in the northwest, while Cane Creek, a tributary of Beaver Creek, runs roughly parallel along the mountain’s northeast side. The ridge takes its name from a lime kiln that operated there in the 19th century, connecting the landscape to an earlier era of local industry in the region.
