Bridgeview and Hickory Hills anchor this detailed study of Cook County's southwest suburbs, where modern residential expansion meets a complex landscape of forest preserves and industrial corridors. The Calumet-Sag Channel bisects the area, providing a hard industrial boundary between the suburban grids of Worth and the extensive recreational lands to the west. This geography is defined by an unusual concentration of glacial features and sloughs, including Boomerang Slough, Cranberry Slough, and the Swallow Cliffs, illustrating the preservation of open space amidst the sprawl of the Chicago metropolitan area.
