Highland and Sheridan County
Highland is associated with Sheridan 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.
Highland by land and water
The Census records 0.75 square miles of water within Highland, or 2.1% of its total area. It is 1.2 percentage points lower than the 3.3% recorded for Sheridan County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Highland township has 1.1 times the land area of nearby Strassburg township (32.4 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
