Waterman is a small farming village in southern DeKalb County where building sites sit on largely level, agricultural ground. A topographic survey is what reveals the modest grades and drainage lines that a design must account for. With those elevations mapped, engineers can plan grading and stormwater that perform correctly.
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.

Waterman is a village of about 1,400 residents in Clinton Township within DeKalb County. The DeKalb County seat is Sycamore, where the DeKalb County Recorder / Clerk & Recorder files plats, easements and deeds. The county is drained principally by the Kishwaukee River, with FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas along the mainstem and branches. On a Waterman site, a topographic survey captures contours, existing structures and drainage courses, supplying the elevation control an engineer uses to set grades and manage runoff for the project.
So the design team has accurate elevations and contours for Waterman’s mostly flat sites, where small grade changes still govern how drainage is engineered.
