1980s – 2000s
Below the big families, the wave's full register: Pleasant Valley North (90 parcels — the boundary's child of an Osceola parent, read at the closing article); New Granger Trails (80, on the range-line sections at the Osceola doorstep, its legal descriptions running to Sections 7 and 8 of the next range east); Anderson Lake Estates (76, on Anderson Road, its file still showing 29 parcels as vacant land — a plat of the wave still completing in the 2020s, on ground the county's new Anderson Road park, acquired in 1999 and under construction in 2025–26, will neighbor); Cherry Trails Estates (74 across its sections, on streets like Sturdy Oak Lane); Dawn Manor (103 across its additions); Northfield Village (62, its descriptions carrying the east half of the northwest quarter of Section 14); Woods Edge (62); East Pointe Estates (61, its descriptions naming Cedar Lake); Reynolds Park (60, on the range-line sections); and the middle rank in the thirties to fifties — Country Knolls (54), Sherwood Forest (71 across its sections), Deer Park (51), The Homestead (48), Sussex Point (45), Evergreen Meadows (45), Barrington Woods (41), Windermere Estates (38), Streamwood (32), Park Forest (46), Greenfield Manor (20), Adams Acres (17, in its fourth section), Glen Lees (52 across its additions), Pine Meadows (19), Fountain Blue (22), and The Ranch's wave-era namesakes among the small plats. Beneath the register, the minor subdivisions — 502 parcels inside the boundary carry the form in their legal descriptions — string along every farm road, the wave's foam: two to ten lots cut from a family's frontage, named for the family or the road, uncounted here individually because the record reaches them only in aggregate, which is itself printed as their measure.
What the wave's paper shows: duration and a hard eastern stop. Duration: the additions and phases run for decades within a plat — Prairie Lane's parts span the wave, Dawn Manor's additions likewise, and Anderson Lake's vacant parcels show the process still open. The stop: the wave took the Harris Prairie upland east to the range line and ended — Pleasant Valley North is its last full plat inside the boundary, and beyond the line the names change jurisdiction (Pleasant Valley, Northbridge Valley) at the closing article. The wave's dates, plat by plat, stand at the strength of the county file; the Recorder's plat books would date each, and the lack is named in this section's apparatus rather than papered over.
