The [[Emory River]] enters the Tennessee Valley just west of Harriman at a pass known as Emory Gap, and forms an [[meander|oxbow bend]] that surrounds the original section of Harriman.

Harriman's southwestern boundary, which it shares with [[Rockwood, Tennessee|Rockwood]], is located along US-27 about a half-mile south of the road's intersection with I-40. The city's southeastern boundary runs along Pine Ridge, which overlooks the [[Kingston Fossil Plant]]. Harriman's northern boundary is near US-27's split with [[Tennessee State Route 61|State Highway 61]].
