Snowbound is a well-balanced map as far as the bases are designed. It's bi-level with an underground caving system connecting the two bases. The map would be completely symmetrical without the presence of landscape.
Remember while documenting ALL base callouts, this map is symmetrical in the fact that both bases have the same callouts. Only the possession of "red" or "blue" changes. With this in mind, most callouts as far as the bases go can be combined. For example, the Blue and Red Base can be combined on the callouts with the same number (on the legend) and/or description.
1. Blue Base/Red Base
Other Names: n/a
The Blue Base is identified by two horned structures atop glowing blue. The Red Base has a simular structure with exception that the horns aren't glowing.
Moving forward into the Blue base, through the larger shield door known as Back Door (2b), you'll walk right into a Spartan Laser. To your left, a large blue glowing orb named Ball (3b). On your right is the Stage (4b) noted by a step up, lighted barrier and a pane of honeycombed glass. The middle door from Top Mid leads us into a passageway named Blue Pass (5b), to the underground caving system. This info should be inserted with Base information, each Base has the same structural layout.

2. Purple Stack
Other Names: Blue Stack, Blue Crates, Batteries
To your left, you'll notice two cylinders piercing the ground. They're nicknamed Purple Stack, but because we're on the Blue side, they're referred to as Blue Stack. You may also hear them called crates, cylinders or batteries
3. Rabbit Hole
Other Names: : Powerup Tunnel, Camo
As you look to your right, a small hill containing a tunnel and an Active Camo will appear. The tunnel is known as the Rabbit Hole.
4. Tundra
Other Names: n/a
The area to your left with the randomly placed Spiker, lined with turrets is named Tundra. The Tundra looks like a beaten path you can follow back to Blue Base.
5. Glass
Other Names: Blue Glass
Stepping off the Mound, we'll cross over a small ground running pipe back to Blue Base. We're approaching from the side of it which is tilted an angle which makes it easy to climb. The same honeycombed glass makes up the exterior of this part of the Blue Base, which easily identifies this area as Glass. Walk up the Glass onto the top of the base.
6. Back Ramp
Other Names: n/a
This slight incline down to the back entrance located on each base is known as Back Ramp.
Red Base Call-Outs
7. Purple Stack
Other Names: Red Stack, Batteries
Two cylinders piercing the ground. They're nicknamed Purple Stack. You may also hear them called crates, cylinders or batteries. The Stack located near the Red Base is identified as "Red Stack".
8. Red Pass
Other Names: n/a
If you take Mid Pass down, you'll have Red Pass directly to your left and Blue Pass on your right while facing the Main Entrance.
9. OS Rock
Other Names: n/a
To the right of the Red Base, you'll see an Overshield sitting atop a smaller flattened rock. This rock only is known as OS Rock (which may be also called OV Rock).
11. Red Rocks
Other Names: n/a
Moving forward from OS, you'll cross a Plasma Rifle marking our next set of rocks. This area, which is strictly located behind the Red Base, is known as Red Rocks. The first one, being set with a Plasma Rifle will be known as Plasma Side. The next rock is known as BR Side because a Battle Rifle spawns against the backside.
12. The Flat
Other Names: n/a
Entering into a flattened area of the map from BR Side is the notably flattest area of Snowbound, which is also divided by a beaten path from Red Stack. This area, due to its geography is known as the Flat. Pushing forward on the Flat, you'll make your way to the Main Entrance of the Cave.
13. Back Door
Other Names: n/a
If moving forward into Base through the larger shield door, you'll be entering through what's known as the Back Door.
Neutral Call-Outs
14. Mid Pass
Other Names: n/a
The earth separates about halfway across Top Mid and forms a ridge. The beginning of this ridge is caused by an entrance that makes a passage into the Cave. Since we're Top Mid, this tunnel is known as Mid Pass. If you take Mid Pass down, you'll have Red Pass directly to your left and Blue Pass on your right while facing the Main Entrance.
15. Cave
Other Names: Basement, Shotty Room, Bat Cave
Following Blue Pass, you enter the main lobby of the Cave. Staying along the right side of Cave, you'll notice a larger sized shield door armed with fusion cores and a shotgun. This is the main entrance into the cave, because it's the largest
16. Main Entrance
Other Names: Big Door
Walking through Main Entrance from Cave, you'll notice a single pillar followed by a radio tower and two plasma batteries. This area is still known as Main Entrance.
17. Mound
Other Names: n/a
The entirety of the hill forming the tunnel known as Rabbit Hole is named the Mound. Once you're standing on the Mound, you will have the Blue Base back in your sights.
18. Top Mid
Other Names: n/a
From the Basement, there are three ways to choose as your path. The first one on the left leads us to Blue Base. The second middle path leads us out towards Top Mid.
Top Mid is the middle most part of the map which is unfortunately given little to no cover. It stretches from the beginning of each Base across and from the Ghost back to the Cave.
19. Ghost Hangar
Other Names: The Ghost, Top Ghost
Moving forward over the Ghost, you will approach another radio tower with two empty crates.
20. Rockside
Other Names: n/a
Jumping down from the plasma batteries located on the top of each Base, you'll spot a series of rocks. These stretch from the edge of the Blue Base to behind the Red Base. The series that starts here and extends into the top of the Ghost Hangar is known as Rockside.
