The Mississippi River as well as the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers formed and cut deep into the valleys. The Nashville Basin , which in reality is a geologic dome , was pushed up from underneath by a mantle plume , exposing softer strata that with additional erosion on the Highland Rim surrounding the basin expanded the size of the basin.
It rises in the westernmost mountains of North Carolina, and then flows through Monroe County, Tennessee, before joining the Little Tennessee River under the Tellico Reservoir.
