Lyons is a compact western village set right on the Des Plaines River, with an old riverside history and tight residential blocks. Its riverfront position puts drainage and floodplain front and center for additions and redevelopment. A topographic survey delivers the elevations engineers need where the land meets the river.
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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Lyons has about 11,000 residents and spans the Lyons and Riverside townships in western Cook County. Its property records are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The Des Plaines River runs directly along the village, placing substantial areas within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas and making floodplain-aware drainage design routine. A topographic survey capturing existing elevations, flow paths and features near the river is often the foundation for grading and building placement on a Lyons parcel.

Because the Des Plaines River runs right along the village and places many parcels in mapped flood hazard areas, a topographic survey’s elevations are essential to designing compliant grading and drainage.

A boundary survey establishes property lines; a topographic survey maps the surface by elevation and feature, and both are commonly combined.
