"Higher" could also mean higher. For example, Colorado is higher than Massachusetts; the lowest point in Colorado has a higher altitude than the highest point in Massachusetts.

(And by the way, the reference by Shade here to "Yewshade, in another, higher state" is another possible indication that New Wye's equivalent location in our world -- I'm trying to avoid the word "real," obviously! -- is not New York State. If "higher" means due north, we've run out of states. Though I suppose New England could be considered "higher" than Ithaca.)
