The plantation and Briggs Hill
Highland Plantation had 52 residents at the 2020 census. Highland remains a distinct plantation, the form of local organization used for this municipality in Maine.
Briggs Hill is in the southeastern part of the plantation. Its town profile suggests that the name came from early settler Adin Briggs, whose family lived on the hill before moving west in 1846.
