Explore Highland, Utah, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Highland, Utah. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Utah or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Highland.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Highland anchors itself to the base of the landscape where the Dry Creek flows with a persistent, quiet resolve. The terrain surrounding Highland offers a distinct clarity, defined by the proximity of Fort Canyon and the expansive presence of the Wasatch Range looming ten miles to the east. Residents often gather at Peterson Park, a patch of land that holds the light of late afternoon in a way that turns the grass a deep, burnished copper. Nephs Lake sits just two miles away, offering a still reflection of the sky that contrasts with the rugged, vertical ambition of the distant peaks. The air here carries a thin, crisp quality, suggesting the proximity of higher elevations and the unyielding nature of the high desert.
Highland emerged from the efforts of early settlers who recognized the potential in the fertile soil and the steady supply of water provided by local drainage. Agriculture once dominated the local economy, though Highland has since transitioned into a place defined more by residential growth and service-oriented industry. The rhythm of daily commerce remains steady, moving with the deliberate pace of a population that values the maintenance of its quiet, suburban character. Small businesses and professional services form the backbone of the local industry, drawing strength from the regional stability of the Wasatch Front. History is not merely a record here but a living influence, seen in the way the streets follow the contours of the original land grants and irrigation paths.
Highland maintains a cultural character defined by a commitment to family life and an appreciation for the natural world that presses against its borders. The community celebrates its heritage through local events that bring neighbors together under the wide, unobstructed sky. For those seeking the solitude of the outdoors, the Indian Trail provides a path through the wilderness, while the sound of falling water at Scout Falls draws the adventurous seven miles away from the quiet of the residential streets. The town has been home to notable figures, including the professional football player Chad Lewis, whose presence reflects the grounded, hardworking spirit found in many who settle here. Life in Highland moves with a predictable, steady grace, where the transition from day to dusk is marked by the lengthening shadows cast by the mountains toward the valley floor.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
