The county history of 1903 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 126 fires within 5 miles of Highland Park between 1998 and 2019, burning about 1,853 acres in total. None started naturally. 29 were recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Haverhill
• Junior Furnace
• Franklin Furnace
• Ohio Furnace
• Powellsville
• Allentown

Every fire recorded in Scioto County

Museums hold 149 specimens collected within 10 miles of Highland Park between 1890 and 1974: 122 Animalia, 18 Fungi, 9 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Braun, E. Lucy, C. Stein, Cavender, T. M. (Ted M.) and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
