2019 Map of Snyder Lake

About this map

Snyder Lake serves as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of northeastern Colorado, where the terrain is defined by subtle drainage systems and a rigid section-line road network. The ephemeral watercourses of Bunker Cr and Hell Cr suggest a seasonally dry environment where water management was vital for the early 21st-century cattle ranching or dryland farming operations common to Washington County. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including the intersection of t1n r50w and t2n r50w. A grid of rural routes such as Co Road Rr and Co Rd 30 connects the vast, open acreage, tracing the paths established by generations of landholders in this quiet corner of the state.
