2020 Map of Snow Lake

About this map

The Mississippi River forms the southeastern border of this low-lying river landscape, where the shifting waters have left behind a complex network of oxbows and bayous. The settlement of Snow Lake sits near the massive Mississippi Levee Rd, a critical piece of infrastructure protecting the surrounding basins. To the west, the landscape is defined by the winding path of Scrubgrass Bayou and several water bodies like Big Round Lake and Alligator Lake, which suggest a terrain deeply tied to the seasonal flood cycles of the delta.
