McCook is a tiny west-suburban village of roughly 250 residents, spanning Lyons and Proviso townships and dominated by industrial and quarry uses along the canal corridor. Even at this small population, a plat of survey remains the standard document for defining parcel boundaries and easements.
A plat of survey is a drawing, signed and sealed by a licensed Illinois land surveyor, that locates the corners and boundary lines of your lot and depicts the buildings, driveways, fences and recorded easements on the property. It is the document lenders, title companies and municipal permit desks rely on.

McCook, with about 250 residents across Lyons and Proviso townships, is a small, industry-heavy village southwest of Chicago near the Des Plaines River and canal corridor. Its plats of survey, deeds, and easements are recorded at the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which replaced the Recorder of Deeds in December 2020. The village’s parcels are shaped heavily by rail, industrial, and canal uses, so surveys are commonly relied on to establish boundaries, access, and easements before development or a transaction. Given the nearby river and canal, low-lying parcels should be reviewed against FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas in the MWRD-managed watershed.

Parcels shaped by rail, industry, and the canal have boundaries and easements best confirmed by a plat of survey before development or sale.
Low-lying parcels near the river and canal can fall in FEMA flood-hazard areas, which a survey and that mapping together help clarify.
