2013 Map of Preble

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Adams County is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure including the Eightmile Number Two Ditch, Werling-Joint Ditch, and Lambert Ditch. These man-made channels support the fertile farm ground surrounding a series of small, rural settlements that dot the survey. Tocsin and Magley sit along the primary east-west corridor, while Preble serves as a local anchor in the eastern portion of the sheet. Farther south, the community of Peterson and the clustered homes at Curryville and Craigville reflect the region's traditional settlement patterns. Aviation history is represented by the privately operated The Lazy K Airport, located just north of the Eightmile Cr headwaters. Natural waterways like Nickelsen Cr and Johns Cr wind through the township, often supplemented by named drainage features such as Holthouse Ditch and Bracht Ditch that highlight the local emphasis on water management.
