Question: What is the only major mountain ranged located between the Appalachian Mountains and the mountains higher than those which contain parts of the state where Icehouse Bottom is located?

Native Americans were using the site as a semi-permanent hunting camp as early as 7500 BC, making it one of the oldest-known habitation areas in what is now the state of Tennessee. Analysis of the site's Woodland period (1000 BC - 1000 AD) artifacts shows evidence of an extensive trade network that reached to indigenous peoples in Georgia, North Carolina, and Ohio. This was later an area of known Cherokee settlements, the historic people encountered by Anglo-European settlers in the 18th and 19th centuries. Icehouse Bottom is a prehistoric Native American site in Monroe County, Tennessee, located on the Little Tennessee River in the southeastern United States. <SEP> The Great Plains lie west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains. A large portion of the country's agricultural products are grown in the Great Plains. Interior Highlands, the only major mountainous region between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. Before their general conversion to farmland, the Great Plains were noted for their extensive grasslands, from tallgrass prairie in the eastern plains to shortgrass steppe in the western High Plains. Elevation rises gradually from less than a few hundred feet near the Mississippi River to more than a mile high in the High Plains. The generally low relief of the plains is broken in several places, most notably in the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, which form the U.S. <SEP> The Gulf of Mexico is the dominant factor in the climate of Tennessee, with winds from the south being responsible for most of the state's annual precipitation. Generally, the state has hot summers and mild to cool winters with generous precipitation throughout the year, with highest average monthly precipitation generally in the winter and spring months, between December and April. The driest months, on average, are August to October. On average the state receives 50 inches (130 cm) of precipitation annually. Most of the state has a humid subtropical climate, with the exception of some of the higher elevations in the Appalachians, which are classified as having a mountain temperate climate or a humid continental climate due to cooler temperatures. Snowfall ranges from 5 inches (13 cm) in West Tennessee to over 16 inches (41 cm) in the higher mountains in East Tennessee. <SEP> the topography of the state is roughly defined by the continental divide, which splits much of the state into distinct eastern and western regions. most of montana's 100 or more named mountain ranges are concentrated in the western half of the state, most of which is geologically and geographically part of the northern rocky mountains. the absaroka and beartooth ranges in the south-central part of the state are technically part of the central rocky mountains. the rocky mountain front is a significant feature in the north-central portion of the state, and there are a number of isolated island ranges that interrupt the prairie landscape common in the central and eastern parts of the state. about 60 percent of the state is prairie, part of the northern great plains. <SEP> the great plains come to an abrupt end at the rocky mountains. the rocky mountains form a large portion of the western u.s., entering from canada and stretching nearly to mexico. the rocky mountain region is the highest region of the united states by average elevation. the rocky mountains generally contain fairly mild slopes and wider peaks compared to some of the other great mountain ranges, with a few exceptions (such as the teton mountains in wyoming and the sawatch range in colorado). the highest peaks of the rockies are found in colorado, the tallest peak being mount elbert at 14,440 ft (4,400 m). the rocky mountains contain some of the most spectacular, and well known scenery in the world. in addition, instead of being one generally continuous and solid mountain range, it is broken up into a number of smaller, intermittent mountain ranges, forming a large series of basins and valleys. <SEP> The Appalachian Mountains (French: les Appalaches), often called the Appalachians, are a system of mountains in eastern North America. The Appalachians first formed roughly 480 million years ago during the Ordovician Period. They once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains before experiencing natural erosion. The Appalachian chain is a barrier to east - west travel, as it forms a series of alternating ridgelines and valleys oriented in opposition to most highways and railroads running east - west.
