HomeServicesTopographical Land Surveys › Mettawa, IL

Mettawa is a rural, low-density village of large estates, open land and preserved woodlands near the Des Plaines River. Building on that expansive, natural terrain makes accurate elevation data valuable, and a topographic survey supplies it. Contours and grades captured early let a design handle the slopes, trees and drainage across a wide parcel.

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.

Mettawa & Lake County specifics

Mettawa has a population near 500 and spans the Vernon and West Deerfield townships in Lake County. Its records are filed through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office, and the county seat is Waukegan. The village sits in the Des Plaines River watershed, where the river corridor and FEMA flood limits affect some parcels. For estate homes and additions on Mettawa’s large lots, a topo documents existing grades so runoff is guided across the property to a legal outfall.

What Mettawa-area clients say

Frequently asked questions

Wide, wooded parcels near the Des Plaines watershed carry grade and drainage complexity, and a topo captures the elevations a designer needs.

Contour lines, spot elevations, existing structures, visible utilities, significant trees and surface drainage patterns, all drawn to scale.

No; one maps the land’s shape and features while the other establishes property lines, and estate projects often need both.
