The Des Plaines River corridor serves as the industrial and logistical spine of this region during the early 1990s, where the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal runs parallel to heavy rail lines. Large-scale extraction is evident in the numerous quarries and gravel pits that dot the landscape near Romeoville and Lemont. This era shows a landscape in rapid transition, with residential expansion pushing south from Naperville and Woodridge into the open spaces of the Green Valley County Forest Preserve.
