Knoxville Maps and Orientation

(Knoxville, Tennessee - TN, USA)



A medium-sized city located on the northeastern side of Tennessee, close to Gatlinburg, Knoxville lies directly to the north of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The city serves as the state's third-biggest and as the county seat of Knox.

Knoxville resides within the famous Great Appalachian Valley, which is often referred to as the Tennessee Valley, with the Cumberland Plateau being found to the west. Notable natural structures in this area include Beaver Ridge, Brown Mountain and Sharp's Ridge, as well as sections of both the Bays Mountain and the McAnnally Ridge.

Downtown Knoxville is divided by the Tennessee River, which begins its journey on the southeasterly side of the city, where it meets the Holston River.
