Since that time, updates to the data have been limited to noting consolidations of boundaries. The scale of the original data varies, relying primarily on 1:24,000 topoquads. Changes were made when inconsistencies with other maps were found based on preponderance of data. In area where the line was labeled as approximate attempts were made to correctly locate the boundary. The 1986 photoquads were used to move the boundary lines to photo-identifiable features as needed. Changes less than 5 acres were not made.

Spanning parts of four states—Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—this boundary marks the region’s recognized environmental significance, including important water resources, wildlife habitats, and other critical natural areas. The layer is intended for planning and mapping purposes only, providing a clear, current depiction of the Highlands boundary to support land use planning, conservation efforts, and resource management. It is a valuable tool for those working in environmental protection, land development, and sustainability initiatives within the Highlands region.
