River Forest is a village of gracious homes and mature lots adjacent to the Des Plaines River, where renovation and additions are frequent. Working near the river and within established grades makes elevation data critical. A topographic survey records the contours, improvements and drainage that guide the design.
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.
About 11,800 residents live in River Forest, which forms its own River Forest Township in western Cook County. Its recorded surveys and easement records are maintained by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The village sits directly along the Des Plaines River, so floodplain awareness and stormwater control strongly shape project design. Topographic surveys give engineers the elevation base needed to plan grading and drainage on lots near the river corridor.
