Editing Cleveland, Tennessee (section)

==Geography==
Cleveland is located in [[East Tennessee|southeast Tennessee]] in the center of Bradley County in the [[Great Appalachian Valley]], situated among a series of low hills and ridges roughly {{convert|15|mi}} west of the [[Blue Ridge Mountains]] and {{convert|15|mi}} east of the [[Chickamauga Lake]] impoundment of the [[Tennessee River]]. The [[Hiwassee River]], which flows down out of the mountains and forms the northern boundary of Bradley County, empties into the Tennessee a few miles northwest of Cleveland. According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city had a total land area of {{convert|69.7|km2|order=flip}} in 2010.<ref name="Census 2010">{{cite web| url=http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US4715400| archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212201248/http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US4715400| url-status=dead| archive-date=February 12, 2020| title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Cleveland city, Tennessee| publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder| access-date=April 9, 2014}}</ref>

The area's terrain is made up of parallel ridges, including [[Candies Creek Ridge]] (also called Clingan Ridge), Mouse Creek/Lead Mine Ridge, and Blue Springs Ridge, which are extensions of the [[Appalachian Mountains]] (specifically part of the [[Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians]]) that run approximately north-northeast through the area.<ref name=east/><ref name=south/> Mouse Creek and Blue Springs Ridge have significantly lower elevations within the city of Cleveland than elsewhere in Bradley County, which historically made the area easier to settle.<ref name=east/><ref name=south/> Several [[stream]]s run in the valleys between the ridges including Candies Creek, located west of Clingan Ridge, and South Mouse Creek, between Mouse Creek and Lead Mine Ridge.<ref>{{cite map |title =Chattanooga |map =US Geological Survey|year =1972 |url =https://www.worldmapsonline.com/HSNI163chattanoogatnmap.htm |scale =1:250,000|publisher =United States Geological Survey |access-date =November 1, 2017 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/inventory?agency_code=USGS&site_no=03566044|title=USGS 03566044 SOUTH MOUSE CREEK AT HWY 60 NEAR CLEVELAND, TN|website=waterdata.usgs.gov}}</ref> Elevations in the city range from just under {{convert|700|ft|m}} to nearly {{convert|1,200|ft|m}}. The [[Tennessee Valley Divide]], the boundary of the [[Tennessee Valley]] and [[Mobile River]] drainage basins, is located on the southern and eastern fringes of the city, and has prevented the city limits from expanding beyond this point in most locations.

Downtown Cleveland, which roughly coexists with the [[Cleveland Commercial Historic District]], encompasses the [[business district]] and consists of private businesses and government office buildings including the Bradley County Courthouse and [[Bradley County Courthouse Annex|Courthouse Annex]], Cleveland Municipal Building, Cleveland Police and Fire department headquarters, and various other government buildings, primarily the offices of city and county departments. The surrounding residential areas, including the Stuart Heights, Ocoee Street, Centenary Avenue, and Annadale neighborhoods, are sometimes considered part of downtown Cleveland.<ref name=citymap/>

Northern Cleveland has developed as the location for most of the city's retail shops and private interests.<ref name="gm" /> In addition, it is a major residential division, made up of Burlington Heights, Fairview, and Sequoia Grove neighborhoods, and a few major industries.<ref name="east" /> A large industrial area is also located in the northeastern part of the city.<ref name="east" /> The western part of the city is almost entirely residential. Much of it is an extension of the city limits westward to encompass populous middle to upper-class neighborhoods including [[Hopewell Estates, Tennessee|Hopewell Estates]] and Rolling Hills.<ref name="citymap">{{cite map |author= Cleveland Chamber of Commerce |title= City Limits Map |url= https://www.clevelandtn.gov/DocumentCenter/View/105 |year= 2013 |scale= Scale not given |location= Cleveland, TN |publisher= Cleveland Chamber of Commerce |access-date=July 7, 2014}}</ref> East and South Cleveland consist of lower class residential and industrial areas.<ref name="east" /><ref name="south" /> People living in East Cleveland tend to be less privileged.<ref name="gm">{{Google maps|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cleveland,+TN/@35.1804418,-84.9517146,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x885e2b91eaedaaad:0xff782049cac209d2!8m2!3d35.1595182!4d-84.8766115= |title=Overview of Cleveland, Tennessee|access-date=November 7, 2017}}</ref>
