HomeServicesTopographical Land Surveys › Markham, IL

Markham is a south suburban community with residential neighborhoods and commercial parcels that periodically see redevelopment. Working on developed land requires an accurate reading of the existing grades. A topographic survey records the elevations, utilities and drainage the design must accommodate.

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.

Markham & Cook County specifics

Markham counts about 11,700 residents across the Bremen and Thornton townships in southern Cook County. Its recorded surveys and easement records are held by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The city drains toward the Calumet River system, so grading and stormwater management commonly shape project design. Topographic surveys supply the elevation base engineers use to manage runoff on redevelopment and infill parcels throughout the community.
