Tennessee county high points

The following table locates the highest point in each county in Tennessee as defined by USGS topo maps. Though the map/table lists only one high point for each county, 50 of Tennessee's 95 counties have more than one high point. The -number following the name indicates the number of high points in the county (see Andy Martin's book County High Points and cohp.org). Click on the county name to get a list of maps for that point. At the bottom of the table are waypoint files for uploading to your GPS. Latitude and longitude are in the WGS84 datum and extrapolated from USGS 7.5' topo maps. Here is a Google map of Tennessee showing county high points.

Sevier county has the maximum elevation differential -- Clingmans Dome (6643') to the French Broad River (850'). The highest point in TN is Clingmans Dome at 6,643', and the lowest point is 178' along the Mississippi. Here is a nice article from the Tennessee Conservationist magazine on Tennessee's high points.
