[1] The Highland Range of Clark County is a small 10-mile (16 km) long,[2] range south of Henderson, Nevada and separated from the southeast flank of the McCullough Range by a narrow, approximately three-mile wide valley, at the head of Piute Wash.[3] The Highland Range also lies on the southwest border region of the endorheic Eldorado Valley.

The Highland Range Crucial Bighorn Habitat Area is a large part of the range's north, and also the alluvial plains on the northeast above Eldorado Valley.

[2] A north section with a ridgeline extends somewhat into Eldorado Valley; the center and southeast gradually lower in elevation toward the southern margin of Eldorado Valley, just to the northwest of the mining area around Searchlight.

[4][5] U.S. Route 95 runs south through Eldorado Valley to the east of the Highlands to Searchlight.

[7] The range was named after the Scottish Highlands, the ancestral home of a pioneer citizen.
