About

Merrillville encompasses some 31 square miles that was once densely covered with forest. Its gently rolling topography lends itself easily to cultivation and the soil is fertile. The area is drained by Turkey Creek and Deep River and there is no lack of rainfall. The boundaries simply put are from 53rd Avenue to the North , to 101st Avenue to the south and from Whitcomb Street to the West and County Line to the East.
