Riverwoods is a heavily wooded, low-density village where homes sit among trees along the Des Plaines River. That forested, riverside setting makes elevation and floodplain data central to construction, which a topographic survey provides. Contours captured early keep flood, tree and drainage concerns in view before design proceeds.
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.
Riverwoods has a population near 4,000 and spans the Vernon and West Deerfield townships in Lake County. Its records are filed through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office, and the county seat is Waukegan. The Des Plaines River runs through the village and defines floodplain limits along riverside and low-lying parcels. For custom homes and additions near the river, a topo maps existing grades and significant trees so construction sits at a safe elevation and routes runoff to a legal outfall.
Forested, riverside lots carry floodplain and drainage concerns along with heavy tree cover, and a topo records the elevations and features engineers need.
Contour lines, spot elevations, existing improvements, visible utilities, significant trees and surface drainage, all to scale.
A boundary survey locates property lines; a topographic survey maps the land’s shape and features, and riverfront projects frequently need both.
