Highlands sits at 4,118 feet on the Macon-Jackson county line, making it one of the highest incorporated towns east of the Mississippi. The town has attracted wealth since the 1870s — the Cullasaja Club, Wildcat Cliffs, and Old Edwards Club anchor a luxury market where land prices match the altitude. Highlands-Cashiers Hospital serves the area with 25 beds. The Cullasaja River gorge and the surrounding Nantahala National Forest land create dramatic settings. LandMatch maps elevation, USGS stream data, and NLCD forest cover on every parcel in the Highlands area.
