Biographical
Note
John
Parr Snyder was born 12 April 1926 in Indianapolis, IN, the son
of Ralph W. and Freda (Parr) Snyder. He received a Bachelor of
Science degree in chemical engineering from Purdue University
in 1948, and a Master of Science degree in chemical engineering
from Massachusetts Institute of Technology the following year.
In 1956, Mr. Snyder joined the CIBA-Geigy Corporation of Summit,
NJ, as a chemical project engineer. He retired from full-time
employment at CIBA-Geigy in 1978, and spent the following two
years working part-time for that corporation and part-time as
a physical scientist in map projection for the United States Geological
Survey. In 1980, Mr. Snyder began full-time employment with the
U.S.G.S., retiring to part-time employment with this agency in
1988.
Mr. Snyder is author of two publications especially vital to historical
research in New Jersey. The first, The Story of New Jersey's
Civil Boundaries, 1606-1968 (Trenton, NJ: New Jersey Bureau
of Geology and Topography, 1969), won him the American Association
for State and Local History award of merit in 1970. His second
work, The Mapping of New Jersey: The Men and the Art
(New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1973) traces the
history of New Jersey cartography and cartographers. Both books
include reproductions of important historical maps of New Jersey,
as well as numerous original depictions drafted by John Snyder
himself. Mr. Snyder has also authored several other publications,
and contributions to articles on map projection.
