Mount McEuen is a mountain which also gives its name to the surrounding rural locality in the South Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Mount Mceuen had a population of 36 people.[1]
Mt. McEuen rises to an elevation of 508 m (1667 ft),[3] with the nearest peak known as The Bluff (469m elevation) only a short distance away (approx. 1.7 km). Mt. McEuen rises to a prominent pointed peak in a shape that is clearly volcanic in origin, making it a significant local landmark. It was used as a vantage point by surveyors in the earliest days of preparing subdivisions for closer settlement and farming.[4]
