Burnham is a small village in far southeast Cook County against the Indiana line, home to about 4,000 residents within the Calumet region. Its location in the county’s southern drainage belt makes flood awareness a real part of local property work. A plat of survey helps Burnham owners confirm both their boundaries and their standing on the flood maps.
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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your closing or permit.
Burnham counts roughly 4,000 residents and is coextensive with Thornton Township in the southeast corner of Cook County, bordering Indiana. The village lies within the Calumet River drainage overseen by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, so parcels near those waterways can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, an important consideration for building near the flood fringe. Recorded plats for Burnham properties are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division after the Recorder of Deeds merged into the Clerk’s office in 2020. Surveys here commonly confirm platted lot lines and setbacks for additions and fences while addressing flood determinations near the waterways.
Official resources for Burnham property owners
For parcels near the Calumet drainage, yes. A plat of survey paired with a flood determination indicates whether a Burnham lot lies within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
Burnham corresponds to Thornton Township, though plats are recorded county-wide through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division.
Owners use it to confirm boundary lines, locate the home and improvements, identify easements, and support permits, closings, and flood documentation.
