Knoxville
Knoxville features a diverse topography characterized by its position in the Great Appalachian Valley. The city sits at an elevation of approximately 886 feet above sea level, nestled between the Great Smoky Mountains to the east and the Cumberland Plateau to the west. This geographical setup results in a landscape of rolling hills, narrow ridges, and broad valleys, particularly prominent in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians subrange. Key topographical features include Sharp's Ridge and Beaver Ridge, which provide natural elevation within the urban area, while the Tennessee River, flowing through downtown Knoxville, enhances the region's beauty with its winding course. The surrounding hills and mountains, including House Mountain, the highest peak in Knox County at 2,064 feet, offer numerous recreational opportunities and scenic vistas, making Knoxville's terrain both visually striking and vital for outdoor activities.
