Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, and Lombard anchor this detailed study of the modern DuPage County suburbs. The landscape is defined by its educational and religious institutions, including Wheaton College, Benedictine University, and the Saint Procopius Abbey Cemetery. Traces of the region's earlier character are visible in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Morton Family Cemetery and The Lisle Cemetery. The drainage of the East Branch Du Page River connects a string of recreational and natural areas, from Danada Swamp to the water bodies of Lake Marmo and Sterling Pond. The regional transport network is heavily represented by the Illinois Prairie Path, a multi-branch trail system that follows former rail corridors, linking the established downtown centers of Lisle and Downers Grove.
