2014 Map of Snyder

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew winds significantly through this portion of Ashley County, its meandering course defining the drainage patterns and wetlands that characterize the local geography. The landscape is dotted with small, historic communities such as Snyder, Thebes, and Trafalgar, which are connected by an intricate network of rural routes like Ashley 105 Rd and Ashley 60 Rd. Near the eastern edge, the town of Montrose sits along the corridor of Us-82 E, serving as a primary point of transit in this agricultural and riverine region. Numerous oxbow lakes and sloughs, including Lake Grampus and Perkins Slough, indicate the historical shifts of the bayou, while Lake Lingo and Dry Bayou further illustrate the water-dominated terrain of the Arkansas Delta. This survey provides a look at the early 21st-century configuration of these settlements and their relationship to the natural waterways.
