Snövelstorp Bridge was originally a rolling bridge on the main road to Norrköping. In 1941 it was replaced with a swing bridge.

On von Röök's map from 1774, one can see the depth measurements for the the canal's watercourse through the lake. Some information on elevation is also given here. In the lower right corner of the map is the signature of von Röök's skilful cartographer, Eric Myhrén, who was also fortifications officer.

Kongsör Manor, Snöfweltorp Manor and Norbo Manor can also be seen on the map.
