The geological structure of Phu Kradueng originated in the Mesozoic era, belonging to the Khorat Group which is composed of Phu Phan Formation, the Sao Khua Formation, the Phra Wihan Formation, and the Phu Kradueng Formation. Most of the mountains are at an altitude of between 400-1,200 meters above mean sea level, with a flat area on the top of the mountain that resembles an Elephant Ear's leaf, consisting of low hills. The highest peak is Khok Moei, approximately 1,316 meters above mean sea level. The flat area on the top of Phu Kradueng is high in the west and southeast. The area gradually slopes down to the northwest, causing various stream caused by water sources on the mountain flowing together on this side. It is the source of the Phong Stream, which nourishes Ubol Ratana Dam and Nong Wai Dam in Khon Kaen Province.
