Creating point at highest value in raster using ArcGIS Desktop

From what I know, there is no direct tool. So you need to :

1) read the maximum value in the properties of your raster (right click on the raster > raster properties ) (if not available, launch "build statistics"(management tools > raster > raster properties). Make sure that your skip factor is set to "1" in order to use all pixels during the calculation (skip factor correspond to the pyramid level)

2) use the "Equal to" tool (spatial analyst > math > logical) to identify the cells with the maximum value

remark : alternatively you can do this with "reclassify" or map algebra.

3) convert raster to point

At Arc Desktop 10.7.1, this works for me (note that it requires the Spatial Analyst extension):

Open the Raster Calculator and enter the following in the Map Algebra Expression pane:

Con("your_raster" == "your_raster".maximum, "your_raster")

[Note: this selects the cell with the maximum value from your_raster.]

Enter the name of the output raster that will contain the cell with the highest value. Voila!, the output raster with the maximum value is created. All other output cells are NoData.

If the output cell is too small to find, use the Raster to Point tool. Then symbolized the output point with a large, brightly colored dot.
