Chicago's northern suburbs are defined by a dense network of residential streets and arterial roads in this contemporary landscape. The North Branch Chicago River and its various tributaries, including the W Fork N Branch Chicago River and Skokie River, thread through the sprawling communities of Glenview, Skokie, and Des Plaines. A significant concentration of memorial sites and religious institutions characterizes the area, notably the expansive Saint Adalbert Catholic Cem and Mausoleum and Maryhill Catholic Cem and Mausoleum. The presence of numerous lakes such as Big Bend Lake and Lake Mary Anne indicates the managed water systems within the developed Cook County interior. Major thoroughfares like Milwaukee Ave and W Dempster St connect these established municipalities, illustrating the modern suburban infrastructure and its proximity to the city core.
