==Geography== [[File:Thomas-Lawson-House-Grand.jpg|thumb|left|Boston financier Thomas Lawson's residence in Grand Rivers, when he was promoting the town as the next great steel-making center, to rival Pittsburgh and Birmingham.]] According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|1.9|sqmi|km2}}, of which 1.8 square miles (4.8 km<sup>2</sup>) is land and {{convert|0.04|sqmi|km2}} (2.13%) is water. The town was formerly located at the narrowest point between the [[Cumberland River]] and the [[Tennessee River|Tennessee]]. Both were dammed and artificial lakes created by the [[Tennessee Valley Authority]] and the [[United States Army Corps of Engineers|Army Corps of Engineers]] in the early 20th century; the town now lies on an isthmus of land between [[Kentucky Lake]] and [[Lake Barkley]].
