HomeServicesTopographical Land Surveys › Genoa, IL

Genoa sits in the northeastern corner of DeKalb County, a small city where residential streets give way to farmland at the edges. Any building or site-improvement plan there begins with knowing the ground’s elevations, which a topographic survey delivers. Those contours and grades guide how a structure is placed and how water moves off the lot.

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.

Genoa & DeKalb County specifics

Genoa is a city of roughly 5,300 residents located in Genoa Township within DeKalb County. The DeKalb County seat is Sycamore, home to the DeKalb County Recorder / Clerk & Recorder that files plats, easements and deeds. The county lies in the Kishwaukee River watershed, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas follow the mainstem and branches of the Kishwaukee. A topographic survey of a Genoa parcel captures its contours, existing features and drainage patterns, providing engineers the elevation control needed to grade the site and route stormwater away from buildings.
