The Morton Arboretum forms a sprawling green heart for this portion of DuPage County, surrounded by the rapid suburban expansion of the early 1990s. This survey illustrates the dense residential and institutional development of Wheaton, Downers Grove, and Lisle, where major educational centers like Wheaton College and Illinois Benedictine College are central landmarks. The landscape is defined by its transit corridors, from the heavy rail lines of the Chicago and North Western and Burlington Northern to the intersecting paths of the East-West Tollway and North-South Tollway.
