Highwood is a small Lake County city of about 5,074 residents in Moraine Township, along the Lake Michigan shore in the county’s southeast between larger lakefront communities. A compact, densely built city with a lively commercial center, it has many small, long-platted lots. A plat of survey is the practical way to reconcile those older records with what stands on the ground today.
A plat of survey is a drawing, signed and sealed by a licensed Illinois land surveyor, that locates the corners and boundary lines of your lot and depicts the buildings, driveways, fences and recorded easements on the property. It is the document lenders, title companies and municipal permit desks rely on.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your closing or permit.
Highwood counts roughly 5,074 residents and lies within Moraine Township along Lake Michigan in southeastern Lake County. Its plats and deeds are recorded with the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office in Waukegan, the county seat to the north. The eastern county drains through ravines toward Lake Michigan and the Des Plaines River, so some Highwood parcels can fall within FEMA flood hazard areas that a plat of survey helps identify. Because Highwood is compact with many small, long-platted lots, a current survey is often essential to confirm boundaries, easements and setbacks before a fence, addition or sale.
Highwood’s compact, closely built lots were platted long ago, so a current field survey is the reliable way to reconcile the recorded description with existing structures and fences.
