THE HIGHLAND LAND BRIEF

Land in the
St. Croix Pine Barrens setting.

Highland town has 76.2 square miles of land in Douglas County. Its Census reference point is in St. Croix Pine Barrens, within Northern Lakes and Forests.

Glacial hills, till plains, sandy outwash and old lake basins create a varied northern landscape. Conifer and hardwood forests surround many lakes across these glacially shaped uplands.

Regional context: Northern Lakes and Forests ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Highland and Douglas County

Highland is associated with Douglas 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.

Douglas County

Highland by land and water

The Census records 1.77 square miles of water within Highland, or 2.3% of its total area. It is 9.6 percentage points lower than the 11.9% recorded for Douglas County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Highland town has 6.1 times the land area of nearby Lake Nebagamon village (12.5 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Highland land.

These are questions we consider as a potential buyer, based on this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. Our purchase decision depends on the actual parcel.

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 Douglas County geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the St. Croix Pine Barrens setting

St. Croix Pine Barrens belongs to Northern Lakes and Forests. Is the tract on sandy outwash, moraine hills or a lake basin margin, and what do its survey and access records establish?

03

Check the route, beyond Lake Nebagamon

Lake Nebagamon is 6.1 miles northwest 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 Douglas County. Highland’s 76.2 square miles of land include many different property situations; we consider the exact parcel for our own purchase.

Is every Highland property in St. Croix Pine Barrens?+

No. St. Croix Pine Barrens 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 Lake Nebagamon as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 6.1 miles northwest 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 USA Land Offers 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.
