Powell Mountain (or "Powells Mountain") is a mountain ridge of the Ridge-and-valley Appalachians of the Appalachian Mountains. It is a long and narrow ridge, running northeast to southwest, from about Norton, Virginia, to near Tazewell, Tennessee.[1] It separates the Clinch River basin and the Powell River basin of Powell Valley. It was named for an 18th-century explorer.[2]
