Sequatchie is one of three counties (along with [[Bledsoe County, Tennessee|Bledsoe]] and [[Marion County, Tennessee|Marion]]) situated in the [[Sequatchie Valley]], a long, narrow valley running northeast-to-southwest across the eastern portion of the [[Cumberland Plateau]]. The county is flanked by the Plateau's [[Walden Ridge]] escarpment on the east. The [[Sequatchie River]], which spans the valley, passes through the county.

Two major highways, [[U.S. Route 127]] and [[Tennessee State Route 111]], intersect in Dunlap.

While the two other counties in the Sequatchie Valley, Bledsoe and Marion, are grouped with the [[East Tennessee]] grand division, Sequatchie is grouped with [[Middle Tennessee]].<ref name=tngenweb>TNGenWeb Project, [http://www.tngenweb.org/maps/tngrand3.htm Three Grand Divisions of Tennessee]. 1999.
