Cortland is a growing DeKalb County town just east of DeKalb, where newer subdivisions have expanded onto former farmland. New lots there need their elevations and drainage mapped before homes and site plans are drawn, and a topographic survey supplies that detail. The contours it records let engineers grade each parcel and manage runoff correctly.
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.

Cortland is a town of about 4,400 residents in Cortland Township within DeKalb County. Property records including plats and easements are filed with the DeKalb County Recorder / Clerk & Recorder in Sycamore, the county seat. Cortland lies in the Kishwaukee River watershed, where FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas trace the river and its branches. Because much of Cortland’s growth has come through new residential development, a topographic survey mapping contours, existing improvements and drainage is often the starting point that lets engineers set pad elevations and plan stormwater for a subdivision lot.
New residential lots in Cortland need measured elevations and contours so builders and engineers can grade each pad and route drainage consistently across the development.
Design and engineering — the CAD contours and elevations feed grading plans, drainage design, foundation layout and permit drawings.
In DeKalb County, through the DeKalb County Recorder / Clerk & Recorder in Sycamore.
