About this map

Plum Creek meanders across this landscape where the suburban expansion of the Chicago metropolitan area meets the agricultural heritage of Northwest Indiana. The map shows the dense residential grids of Chicago Heights and Sauk Village in Illinois transitioning into the more varied development patterns of Dyer and St. John in Indiana. This borderland is defined by a significant density of historic cemeteries, including Saint James Catholic Cem and Saint Joseph Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the communities that settled this region.

Smaller hamlets and established neighborhoods like Kreitzburg, Willowbrook, and Faithorn are visible among the drainage networks of the Lansing Drainage Ditch and Bull Run. The road network, featuring names like Jason Rasmussen and Mary Byrne Dr, reflects the ongoing modernization and residential naming conventions of the early 21st century while maintaining the traditional section-line boundaries of Cook Co and Lake Co.
