2016 Map of Preble

About this map

Agricultural patterns and a dense network of drainage engineering define this portion of the Indiana plains along the Wells and Adams county line. Small settlements like Preble, Tocsin, and Magley are linked by straight-line roads and the north-south corridor of N State Rd 301. The landscape is intricately managed by numerous named ditches such as Eightmile Number Two Ditch, Lambert Ditch, and Werling-Myers Ditch, illustrating the systematic conversion of wetlands into productive farmland. Genealogists will find several rural burial grounds preserved throughout the townships, including Prairie View Cem, Shady Cem, and Saint Lukes Cem. The presence of The Lazy K Airport near Eightmile Creek provides a notable landmark amidst the sprawling fields, while the cluster of small communities like Peterson, Curryville, and Honduras reflects the enduring nature of local crossroads hamlets in this part of the state.
