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.

Cary & McHenry County specifics

Located in Algonquin Township along the Fox River, this McHenry County village is defined by wooded, hilly neighborhoods. Custom homes, additions and site improvements rely on contour and elevation data for grading and stormwater planning. Because the Fox corridor carries FEMA flood hazard areas, topographic surveys often support floodplain analysis. Deeds are filed with the McHenry County Recorder in the county seat of Woodstock. A CAD topographic survey gives Cary’s designers the accurate terrain detail their hilly lots demand.
