The Sewanee Plateau and the edge of the Cumberland Plateau define this region of Middle Tennessee, where the elevation drops sharply into intricate coves and hollows. The historic campus of the University of the South is central to this landscape, surrounded by residential pockets like Saint Andrews and Midway. To the west, the town of Cowan sits at the base of the plateau, a critical location for the railroad where the Cowan Tunnel pierces the mountain.
