The Des Plaines River carves through the heart of this densely settled landscape, flanked by a massive concentration of institutional and community landmarks. This 2021 survey details the tight urban grid stretching from Maywood and Oak Park in the north down to Burbank and Bedford Park. The area is notably characterized by a high density of historic burial grounds, including the expansive Forest Home Cem, Waldheim Cem, and Resurrection Cem.
