Ford Heights is a small far-south-suburban village of older homes and open parcels near the Bloom Township industrial belt. Additions and redevelopment here begin with a topographic survey of the lot’s grades and features. On its flat terrain, those elevations govern how runoff moves.
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.

Ford Heights has roughly 2,000 residents and lies within Bloom Township in far-southern Cook County. Its deeds are recorded through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The village’s land is flat and drains toward the Calumet river system, so controlled grading is important whenever a lot is developed or rebuilt. A topographic survey gives the design team the existing elevations and drainage flow paths needed to plan grading and building placement that keep water moving off a Ford Heights site properly.

Often yes; a topographic survey documents the existing grades so grading, drainage and building placement can be designed and permitted on the flat lot.
It records elevations and contours plus structures, driveways, walks, trees and surface drainage, delivered in CAD.
A boundary survey establishes property lines while a topographic survey maps elevations and features; the two are commonly ordered together.
