1960 Map of Snyder

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew winds through this Southeast Arkansas landscape, defining the transition from the upland woods of the Banner and Prairie districts to the fertile bottomlands of the Mississippi Delta. The Missouri Pacific railroad serves as the primary East-West corridor, connecting small settlements like Snyder and Montrose across the heavy delta soil. This era captures the area's agricultural reliance on the natural hydrology of the bayou system, where curved oxbows and brakes such as Lake Grampus, Simpson Brake, and Horseshoe Lake segment the terrain. Local social centers are anchored by country congregations, including Evening Star Ch near the tracks and New Providence Ch further south. The map reveals a land shaped by water, where drainage features like Bearhouse Creek and Overflow Creek dictate the placement of local roads and farmsteads.
