1962 Map of Preble

About this map

The boundary between Wells and Adams Counties serves as the central axis for this rural Indiana landscape, which was meticulously documented in the early 1960s. The region is defined by a dense network of agricultural drainage channels, including the Eightmile No 2 Ditch and the Holthouse Ditch, which underscore the intensive land management required for local farming. Small unincorporated hamlets such as Tocsin, Magley, and Preble are linked by straight section-line roads, many of which are punctuated by community-focused sites like Bethlehem School and St Pauls Church.
