HomeServicesTopographical Land Surveys › Rockford, IL

Rockford is Illinois’ largest city outside the Chicago area, a real urban center on the Rock River with a deep industrial base and active redevelopment across its neighborhoods. Projects from infill construction to large commercial sites depend on accurate ground elevations, which a topographic survey provides. Its contours let engineers design grading, foundations and drainage that account for the river and the city’s varied terrain.

What a topographic survey shows

A topographic survey maps the elevations, contours and natural and man-made features of a site — grades, structures, utilities, trees and drainage — giving architects and engineers the data they need to design accurately and secure permits.

Rockford & Winnebago County specifics

Rockford, with roughly 148,000 residents, is the seat of Winnebago County and its dominant city, situated in Rockford Township. The city is drained by the Rock River, with the Pecatonica and Kishwaukee rivers joining within the county, and substantial FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas run along the Rock and its tributaries through Rockford. As the county seat, Rockford is home to the Winnebago County Recorder, where plats, easements and deeds are filed. For urban infill or commercial development near the river, a topographic survey capturing contours, utilities, structures and drainage gives engineers the elevation control needed to grade sites and route stormwater relative to the floodplain.
