Palos Hills features rolling terrain and wooded residential areas near the Palos forest preserves, giving many of its lots meaningful grade variation. Building on sloped ground makes accurate elevation data especially important. A topographic survey captures those contours, features and drainage so the design fits the land.
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.

Palos Hills has roughly 18,500 residents and lies within Palos Township in southwest Cook County. Its recorded surveys and easement records are held by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The area drains toward the Calumet River system amid varied terrain, so grading and drainage design depend heavily on precise elevation work. Topographic surveys give engineers the contour data needed to plan siting and runoff control on the community’s often sloping lots.
