2013 Map of Highland

About this map

Thomas Lake and the surrounding North Shore highlands define this landscape in Silver Creek Township, where several small settlements are connected by a network of county roads. The community of Highland sits centrally near Highland Lake, while smaller nodes like Wales, Lauren, and Alger are scattered across a terrain dominated by drainage systems flowing toward Lake Superior. This hydrographic network is particularly dense here, featuring the headwaters and upper reaches of the Gooseberry River, Little Gooseberry River, and Stewart River. A distinct pattern of logging and transit history is suggested by the presence of W Alger Grade, which runs through the southern section near York. The area is navigated via routes such as Co Hwy-14 and Co Hwy-2, which cut through the complex topography of ridges and stream valleys.
