1964 Map of Snyder

About this map

Lincoln Trail State Park dominates the northwest quadrant of this Clark County map, centered on its reservoir and the winding drainages that feed it. The landscape is defined by the heavy dissection of Mill Creek and its many tributaries, including Auburn Branch and Sandy Branch, which carve through the till plains. The New York Central railroad provides a straight linear axis through the center of the sheet, connecting small stopping points like Ernst and Snyder. Genealogists will find numerous family-centric landmarks and small burial sites, such as Knott Cem and Ziegler Cem, often located on the higher ground between the branching creek systems. The survey reveals a rural economy focused on timbered stream valleys and upland agriculture, punctuated by local landmarks like Grand Turn and Emmanuel Ch.
