geography
Hautmougey is located at an average altitude of 233 m above sea level, five kilometers northwest of Bains-les-Bains and 35 kilometers southwest of Épinal near the border with the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region .
The almost eight square kilometers large former municipal area lies on the plateau of the Vôge and bordered in the east on the Côney , a tributary of the upper Saône . The Ruisseau Grandrupt flows through Hautmougey and flows into the Canal des Vosges in the south of the district . The canal runs immediately west parallel to the Côney. There are four locks on the four-kilometer-long section of the canal through Hautmougey. In the southwest, the former municipal area is bounded by the Ruisseau de Gruey , which also drains into the Canal des Vosges. To the northwest of Hautmougey, the relief rises over a step to the plateau of the Grand Bois. The highest point in the municipality was reached here at 405 meters above sea level.
The valley of the Ruisseau Grandrupt is used partly as arable land, partly as pastureland, while in the west ( Bois de Montroche ) and east ( les Chavanes ) forests dominate, which in total cover half of the municipal area.
Hautmougey consists of a settlement axis that follows the river valley of the Grandrupt in north-south direction .
Neighboring communities of Hautmougey were Harsault in the north, Les Voivres in the east, Bains-les-Bains in the southeast, Fontenoy-le-Château in the south and Gruey-lès-Surance in the west.
