2020 Map of Snyder

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew winds significantly through this section of Ashley County, defining a landscape of wetlands and oxbow lakes. The drainage pattern is marked by numerous brakes and sloughs, including Simpson Brake, Holloway Brake, and Perkins Slough, which characterize the low-lying alluvial terrain. The eastern edge of the survey features the town of Montrose, while the western portion includes the settlements of Snyder, Thebes, and Trafalgar. Transportation throughout the area is a mix of state routes and numbered county roads, such as Hwy 278 and Ashley Road 60. The map illustrates a clear division between the more elevated ground to the west, where Bearhouse Creek and Caney Cr flow, and the densely saturated wetlands of the bayou basin where features like Lake Grampus and Lloyds Bayou are situated.
