Glen Ellyn, Lombard, and Wheaton anchor the southern portion of this landscape, showcasing the dense residential and suburban development of the early 1990s. The map illustrates a highly managed environment where natural spaces are preserved within an extensive system of county forest preserves, such as Churchill Woods Co For Presv and Swift Meadows Co For Presv. These greenbelts follow the corridors of the East Branch Du Page River and Salt Creek, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding grid of residential neighborhoods and commercial centers like Northland Mall.
