	Highland (geography) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It originates from the term "The Scottish Highlands", used by lowland Scots and the English to refer to the mountainous north of Scotland.
		The Highland council area is a local government area in the Scottish Highlands and the largest local government area in Scotland.
		The highland zone is of relatively low altitude and is distinguished by the growth of thick shrubs such as heather, tussock grasses, and deciduous trees and bushes.

		Features are located by State and county, and related to the USGS topographic map on which the feature is shown.
		In the case of areal features, the primary coordinate represents the location of the approximate geographic center of the feature, whereas the primary coordinate of linear features represents the location of the mouth of the feature.
		If the location of the geographic center of a large populated place was difficult to identify, additional guidelines were used to determine the placement of the primary geographic coordinates such as the location of the city or town hall, main post office, main library, central business district, or main intersection.

	PSI Image of the Month
		Feature "b" is a less sinuous ridge extending beyond the primary ridge, possibly the remnant of an older ridge from a flow that has since receded.
		The feature appears to be a tongue of material flowing down the crater wall, and may be a "rock glacier", or glacial mass composed of a mixture of ice and soil.
		The feature is located at 247 W longitude and 38 S latitude, a latitude zone of Mars famous for "softened terrain" which may involve ice flow.

	NYC Regional Geology
		The rocks of the Highlands Province are a part of the "Crystalline Appalachians." This name refers to the term crystalline rock, a general term for igneous and metamorphic rock (as opposed to sedimentary rock) where the rock consists of minerals in an obviously crystalline state.
		The Highlands region is equivalent to the ancient, worn-down mountains of the Piedmont and Blue Ridge Provinces in North Carolina and Virginia, and is equivalent to the New England Upland Province to the north.
		To the north and east, the boundary between the Hudson Highlands, the Taconic Mountains, and the Western Connecticut Uplands region is indistinct, partly because of the occurrence of numerous thrust faults and large igneous Middle Paleozoic intrusions in the region.

		One innovative feature of EMAP was that it used the health of biological organisms living in these streams to define the condition of the streams.
		This permitted an assessment of the condition of the Mid-Atlantic Highland streams and a ranking of the stressors or factors that were potentially affecting this condition.
		Over 31% of the stream miles in the Highlands were in poor condition based on a fish Index of Biotic Integrity and 27% of the stream miles in the Highlands were in poor condition based on aquatic insect indicators.

		In the case in which the polynomial equation is a Bezier curve, the control points for generating the Bezier curve are associated with the data representing the curved geographic feature.
		Use of a computable function to represent curved geographic features and storing parameters to be used by the computable function has the potential for significantly reducing the storage requirements for representing curved geographic features in a database.

	Geotimes - October 2002 - Big Dig
		The Town of Boston was originally founded on the small, 789-acre Shawmut Peninsula, a highland connected by a narrow neck to the mainland that high tides often breached.
		Second, prominent glacial landforms, principally drumlins, exposed marine clays and granular glaciofluvial “outwash” features — as well as complex, puzzling moraines exhibiting deformed and folded sediments, such as Beacon Hill — created features that could function as natural defenses from seagoing enemies.
		This estimate is qualified somewhat, because it includes former towns later annexed by Boston (Charlestown, Roxbury, East Boston, South Boston); portions of Cambridge and Brookline adjacent to the Charles River; and Logan International Airport.

	Geographic Focal Areas
		These features constatute two "natural geographic corridors" or focal areas concerning the relationship between people and the Southweses physical environment: Arizona's Mogollon Rim Corridor and New Mexico's Rio Grande Rift Corridor (see map 11).
		The natural geographic corridor created by the Colorado Uplift and its Mogollon Rim escarpment has made possible Arizona's mining industry, its irrigation projects, and most of the state's hydroelectric power including that from Hoover Dam, Glen Canyon Dam, and Roosevelt Dam.
		Because the Mogollon Rim monoclinal corridor is such an integrated feature of the obvious heartland of this region, its intrinsic nature as well as its geographic influence should, logically, be considered a "core feature" of the "Southwest." Prehistoric cultures flourished and endured due to the soil and water made possible by the Mogollon Rim.

	Mineralized Late-Missippian Paleokarst in the Leadville, Colorado Area
		Paleokarst features include isolated eaves and sinkholes as well as integrated cavern systems that are mineralized and can be traced from insurgence to outlet.
		The single most striking geographic feature of the Leadville district, the paleovalley, was described by DeVoto [1983] based on the pre-Pennsylvanian subcrop map.
		These features are interpreted from their morphology and from Emmons, et al., [1927] maps and descriptions to be mineral deposits filling caves formed in association with the paleovalley.
