The Des Plaines River corridor serves as the central spine for this densely developed suburban landscape, which includes major communities such as Berwyn, Cicero, and Oak Park. The map reveals a high concentration of memorial and historical sites along the river's path, notably the sprawling grounds of Forest Home Cem and the adjacent Waldheim Cem. These large tracts of green space contrast sharply with the grid-patterned residential neighborhoods and the industrial and transportation infrastructure that defines the region.
