2010 Map of Preble

About this map

Preble and Tocsin anchor this northern Indiana landscape, where a sophisticated network of drainage infrastructure allows for intensive agriculture. The map detail reflects a region defined by its water management, including the Werling Joint Ditch, Pigeon Number Two Ditch, and Gerber Joint Ditch, which channel water toward natural courses like Eightmile Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies several distinct community burial sites such as Prairie View Cemetery and Salem Cemetery, alongside small crossroads settlements like Magley, Peterson, and Honduras. The rural character is further punctuated by The Lazy K Airport, situated north of Craigville. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the rectilinear road grid and the myriad of named ditches that have historically transformed these wetlands into productive farmland.
