2013 Map of Snyder Lake

About this map

Snyder Lake serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of Union County, where the terrain is defined by the winding drainages of Carrizo Cr and Perico Cr. The map reflects a rural ranching and transport environment, with the small named locations of Chambers and Wiley situated along the county road network. The presence of Cinder Mtn in the north indicates the volcanic geology characteristic of this region of Northeast New Mexico. Movement through the area is facilitated by a system of rural routes, including CO Highway A-007 and CO Highway A-016, which connect the isolated homesteads and grazing lands. Researchers can trace the intricate relationship between the intermittent waterways like Cedar Cr and the historical land divisions of T26N and T25N.
