Cumberland Mountains

The Cumberland Mountains are a mountain range in the southeastern part of the Appalachian Mountains that run from  northern Tennessee to West Virginia. They include parts of western Virginia and eastern Kentucky. Their highest peak, with an elevation of  above sea level, is High Knob, near Norton, Virginia.

According to the United States Geological Survey, the Cumberland Mountains are  long and  wide. They are bounded by the Russell Fork on the northeast; the Pound River and Powell River on the southeast; Cove Creek on the southwest; and Tackett Creek, the Cumberland River, Poor Fork Cumberland River, and Elkhorn Creek on the northwest.

They form part of the boundary between Kentucky and Virginia. There are many limestone caves on the Virginia side. They were named for Prince William, Duke of Cumberland.
