About this map

Crown Point and Merrillville anchor this map of northwest Indiana, illustrating a landscape of established residential centers and expanding suburban developments. The region is marked by a high density of memorial sites and community institutions, including Saint Marys Cemetery, Maplewood Memorial Cemetery, and the extensive grounds of the Lake County Fairground. The intersection of major thoroughfares and interstates facilitates the layout of neighborhoods like Independence Hill, Southmoor Park, and Chapel Manor, while the presence of the Southlake Speedway reflects the area's local recreation culture.

Waterways such as Deep River, Turkey Creek, and Deer Creek wind through the terrain, often flanked by smaller settlements like Ainsworth and Winfield. These natural features, alongside man-made drainage such as Sprout Ditch and Smith Ditch, have historically influenced the parceling of land. The southeastern corner highlights the Lake Region Christian Assembly Church Camp, illustrating how larger institutional tracts have been preserved amidst the growing grid of the county.
