Cook County is defined here by the dense convergence of suburban development and a complex network of waterways southwest of Chicago. The Calumet Sag Channel serves as a major industrial artery, bisecting communities like Worth, Palos Heights, and Alsip. This modern survey reveals how the landscape is punctuated by numerous sloughs and lakes, including Boomerang Slough, Cranberry Slough, and Tuma Lake, which provide a natural contrast to the grid of residential streets in Hickory Hills and Oak Lawn.
