The suburban corridor west of Chicago shows a dense network of residential communities and recreational spaces at the close of the 20th century. Major transportation arteries like the East-West Tollway and Tri-State Tollway intersect near Oakbrook, defining the rapid transit of the era. The landscape is notable for its extensive preserve system, including the Fullersburg Co Forest Preserve and York Woods Co Forest Preserve, which protect the meandering path of Salt Creek.
