1956 Map of Snyder

About this map

The railroad junction at Snyder serves as the focal point of this Kiowa County survey, where the tracks of the St Louis San Francisco railroad intersect. The landscape is defined by the granite outcrops of the Mountain Park area and the various branches of the local drainage system. To the north, Snyder Lake provides a primary water source, supported by a dedicated Pumping station and Filtration bed. The settlement of Mountain Park sits nestled between the rocky elevations, showing a distinct grid of streets and local infrastructure including a Swimming pool. This mid-century view captures the essential utility of the region, from the Power substation and Gas tanks in the southern portion of the map to the Snyder Cemetery and Mountain Park Cemetery that serve these rural communities.
