The Des Plaines River and the N Br Chicago River anchor this highly developed landscape along the boundary of Lake Co and Cook Co. The transition between the sprawling residential communities of Buffalo Grove, Vernon Hills, and Wheeling is defined by a dense network of major thoroughfares, including Lake-Cook Rd and Townline Rd. This modern survey reveals how historic settlements like Half Day and Aptakisic have been integrated into the suburban fabric of the Chicago metropolitan area.
