Teviot Range [SEP] named after
Teviot, Roxburghshire, Scotland, on 6 August 1828 by Allan Cunningham (1791–1839) botanist and explorer. The landforms of the Range derived their names as follows:
- Flinders Peak (Aboriginal: Booroong'pah) was originally named "High Peak" in July 1799 by Lieutenant Matthew Flinders RN (1774–1814) navigator, hydrographer and scientist, HM Colonial Sloop Norfolk. The name Flinders Peak was first used by John Oxley (1785?-1828) Surveyor General during his explorations in 1824, as a change from "High Peak of Flinders"
"Murdoch Peak" was probably named after Peter Murdoch, superintendent of the agricultural establishment at Emu Plains.
- Mount Elliott is reportedly named after Robert Elliott who took up land in 1868.
- Ivorys Rock (Aboriginal: Muntambin) is named after James Ivory (1820-1887) grazier, who held freehold land in the Bundamba and Teviot Range area.
Water catchment.
The Range drains into both the Bremer River Basin (sub-basin of Brisbane River Basin) and via Teviot Brook into the Logan
