Editing Greene County, Tennessee (section)

==Geography==
According to the [[U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|624|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|622|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|2.0|sqmi}} (0.3%) is water.<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=http://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/counties_list_47.txt|publisher=United States Census Bureau|access-date=April 5, 2015|date=August 22, 2012|title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files}}</ref> Most of Greene County is located within the [[Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians]], a range characterized by long, narrow ridges alternating with similarly shaped valleys.  [[Bays Mountain]], a prominent ridge in this range, forms much of Greene's northern border with [[Hawkins County, Tennessee|Hawkins County]]. The extreme southeastern part of Greene County is located within the [[Blue Ridge Mountains]], specifically a subrange of the Blue Ridge known as the [[Bald Mountains]].<ref>Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, et al., "[http://www.epa.gov/ttnamti1/files/networkplans/TNPlan2010.pdf Ambient Air Monitoring Plan]," Environmental Protection Agency website, July 1, 2010, p. 6. Accessed: March 18, 2015.</ref> This range straddles Greene's border with North Carolina, and includes the county's two highest points: Gravel Knob, which rises to over {{convert|4840|ft|m}}, and {{convert|4844|ft|m|adj=on}} Camp Creek Bald (it's uncertain which is higher due to lack of an exact measurement for Gravel Knob's elevation).<ref>Fred Lobdell, "[http://www.cohp.org/tn/Greene_3.html Greene County High Point Trip Report]," COHP.org, 1998.
