THE HIGHLAND LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Low Poconos setting.

Highland town has 50.1 square miles of land in Sullivan County. Its Census reference point is in Low Poconos, within North Central Appalachians.

Forest-covered plateau surfaces, high hills and low mountains are underlain by layered sedimentary rocks. Most of this region escaped continental glaciation, leaving deeply cut upland terrain.

Regional context: North Central Appalachians ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Highland and Sullivan County

Highland is associated with Sullivan County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Sullivan County

Highland by land and water

The Census records 1.86 square miles of water within Highland, or 3.6% of its total area. It is 0.7 percentage points higher than the 2.9% recorded for Sullivan County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Highland town has 38.6 times the land area of nearby Eldred CDP (1.3 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Highland land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Highland

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Highland. Check the Sullivan County geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the Low Poconos setting

Low Poconos belongs to North Central Appalachians. Is the property mainly plateau top or valley slope, and do existing access records identify road and stream crossings?

03

Check the route, beyond Eldred

Eldred is 2.9 miles south of the Highland reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Highland
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Highland?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Sullivan County. Highland’s 50.1 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Highland property in Low Poconos?+

No. Low Poconos is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Highland boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Eldred as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 2.9 miles south of Highland’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Highland?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
