Body
Snyders Landing is near Sharpsburg and was the site of the Snyder Coal and Grain Warehouse which can be seen in the right hand side of the photograph. A footbridge was constructed to allow access to the Snyders Landing Road running parallel to the canal. This would allow access for residents from Sharpsburg and the surrounding farm land to the canal for shipping transactions. The footbridge can be seen in the right hand side leading to the warehouse.
