The Sanitary and Ship Canal and the parallel Ship Canal dominate the southern landscape, marking a heavy industrial corridor where the Des Plaines River flows toward Lockport. This late-twentieth-century environment is defined by its transit infrastructure, from the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR to the busy Stevenson Expressway. The transition from rural to suburban is visible in the clusters of schools and subdivisions around Romeoville and Bolingbrook, contrasted with massive extractive operations like the Quarries near Lemont.
