The
Cumberland Plateau
T he largest timbered plateau in America, is located in Cumberland
County in the heart of the Plateau and sits on approximately 2,000
feet above sea level. Crossville is the county seat and largest urban
area which is centrally located in East Tennessee just off Interstate
40, with quick access to Knoxville, Nashville, and Chattanooga.
So attractive is this 679 square mile county that a number of large
residential developments have invested heavily here, and it was chosen
as the fourth best place to live and retire to in the United States
by Rand McNally’s “Places Rated to Retirement Guide”.
One of its attractions is climate, for it’s blessed with long
springs and autumns, cool summers, and mild winters.
