Everything about The Tennessee Valley Divide totally explained
The
Tennessee Valley Divide is the eastern and southern boundary of the drainage basin of the
Tennessee River and its tributaries.
The Tennessee Valley Divide begins near the northeasternmost source of the Tennessee River, in the vicinity of
Bluefield, West Virginia. From there, the divide follows an irregular line towards the south. In this area of south-western
Virginia, the divide forms the boundary between the drainage of the
Tennessee River and the
New River, which also flows to the
Ohio River.
Near
Blowing Rock, North Carolina, the divide meets the
Eastern Continental Divide in the
Blue Ridge Mountains. This point forms a triple point between the streams draining west to the Tennessee, north to the New River, and east to the coastal rivers of
North Carolina.
From Blowing Rock, the Tennessee Valley Divide coincides with the
Eastern Continental Divide, to another triple point in northern
Georgia, from which point streams flow northwards towards the Tennessee River, eastwards to the Atlantic coast of Georgia, and southwards towards the
Gulf of Mexico.
From there, the Tennessee Valley Divide trends generally westward, dividing the Tennessee Valley in
Alabama from the generally southward-flowing rivers of
Alabama and
Mississippi. Some of those rivers, such as the
Tombigbee River, have their headwaters remarkably close to the Tennessee River. The divide then turns north and ends at the foot of Broadway in downtown
Paducah, Kentucky, which also marks Mile 0 of the
Tennessee River at its confluence with the
Ohio.
The divide forms the eastern and southern boundary of the
Tennessee Valley beginning at the
West Virginia border and passing through
Virginia,
North Carolina,
South Carolina,
Georgia,
Alabama,
Mississippi,
Tennessee and
Kentucky.
