2019 Map of Preble

About this map

The agricultural divide of the Wells and Adams County line defines this portion of the Indiana heartland, where a dense network of drainage ditches supports the region's productive farmland. Small communities such as Tocsin, Preble, and Craigville are connected by a grid of rural roads, including State Road 301. The map reveals a high concentration of local history markers, from the Prairie View and Salem cemeteries to the smaller hamlets of Magley and Honduras. Water management is the dominant landscape feature, with complex systems like Eightmile Number Two, Werling-Myers, and Holthouse crisscrossing the terrain. Evidence of local aviation is seen at The Lazy K Airport, while the headwaters of Nickelsen Creek and Eightmile Creek drain the low-lying prairie into the surrounding watershed.
