About this map

Tipsico Lake and Dunham Lake anchor a glaciated landscape characterized by numerous kettle lakes and wetland corridors in the early 21st century. The map illustrates the residential growth and suburban expansion of Highland and the surrounding charter township, where modern developments weave between established landmarks like Fair Haven Camp and the Highland Community Park.

Genealogists can locate several historic burial sites, including Beebe Cemetery near Rose Corners and Gardner Cemetery to the west. The area maintains vestiges of its earlier rural character at Hallers Corners and Hickory Ridge, while the headwaters of North Ore Creek and the concentration of smaller bodies of water like Big School Lot Lake and Little School Lot Lake highlight the region's enduring hydrography.
