The Des Plaines River corridor defines the southern half of this landscape, carving a wide path through the industrial and residential transition south of Woodridge and Bolingbrook. Extensive suburban development is evident through numerous named residential pockets such as Winston Village, Cherrywood, and Sugar Brook, which contrast with the large-scale logistics and transit infrastructure of the Internationale Centre. The river valley itself remains a focal point for both industry and nature, containing Rock Lake and the Lilly Cache Slough. Genealogy resources are particularly prominent on this sheet, featuring the Saint Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Cem near the Lemont Industrial Park Airport and several other burial sites including Resurrection Cem and Alexander Cem. Small aviation hubs like Brookridge Air Park and recreation spots like Village Greens Golf Course illustrate the late-twentieth-century character of this growing region.
