About this map

The Du Page River valley and its surrounding townships define this landscape during a period of rapid suburban transition in the 1990s. The convergence of Naperville, Plainfield, and Bolingbrook creates a dense network of residential subdivisions and golf courses, such as White Eagle Golf Course, while preserving pockets of the area's agricultural past. Long-standing local landmarks like the Vermont Cem and Wheatland Cem remain as quiet reminders of earlier settlement patterns amidst the expanding grid of the Plainfield-Naperville Road.

Industrial and aviation features dot the landscape, including several small airfields like Aero Estates Airport and Clow Intl Airport, reflecting the region's importance to general aviation. The presence of a large Quarry and Gravel Pits along the river indicates ongoing resource extraction, while the Elgin Joliet and Eastern RR continues to serve as a vital rail corridor through the heart of Wheatland and Plainfield townships.
