Chicago Executive Airport and the sprawling northern perimeter of Chicago O'Hare International Airport define the aviation-heavy character of this Cook County landscape. The region is a dense network of suburban development spanning Arlington Heights, Wheeling, Mount Prospect, and Des Plaines. The Des Plaines River winds through the eastern portion of the map, buffered by wooded areas and the Big Bend Lake. A significant number of historic memorial sites are documented, including Memory Gardens Cem, All Saints Cem, and the Saint Pauls Evangelical Lutheran Cem. Between the major transit corridors like Palatine Rd Express Ln and Touhy Ave, small pockets of local history persist at Schnells Corner and the Elk Pasture near Elk Grove Village.
