Eagle Mountains

The Eagle Mountains are a small, obscure mountain range located in southern Illinois. This range is part of the Shawnee Hills region, which features rugged, forested terrain typical of the Ozark Highlands. The Eagle Mountains rise to modest elevations, with the highest peak reaching just over 1,200 feet. The landscape is characterized by steep ridges, sandstone cliffs, and deep ravines carved by small creeks and streams. This remote, undeveloped area provides a scenic, challenging outdoor environment for visitors.
