Sewanee sits atop the Sewanee Plateau, serving as the academic and cultural heart of this Tennessee landscape in the early 21st century. The geography is defined by its dramatic edges, where viewpoints like Morgans Steep, Otey View, and Polk Lookout overlook the surrounding valleys. Below these bluffs, the terrain transitions into deep coves and hollows, such as Roark Cove and Hawkins Cove, which harbor small settlements and family-named landmarks like Bennett Cove.
