The Southern Igneous Ridges And Mountains ecoregion extends from near the Roanoke River into Tennessee and North Carolina border. It consists of pronounced ridges and mountain masses separated by high gaps and coves. Mountain flanks are steep and well dissected. Crestal elevations range from about 2,600 to 5,728 feet (792-1,746 m) on Mt. Rogers. Local relief varies from about 1,150 to 1,500 feet (351-457 m).
