I am looking for a place called Snowia in Poland pre war. Does anybody know where this place is or was located? It may have been demolished during the war. A map of its location would be very helpful. Hope somebody can help.

From looking at the name I believe you are looking for Gmina " Sosnowica " if I am correct
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sosnowica_(województwo_lubelskie)

also this may help

google doesn't give any results for post-war Poland, maybe the place is now in Ukraine, Lithuania or Belarus.

Or it could be an attempt at translating "Śnieżka" into English lol

Snowiu aka Snowia was in Powiat nowogródzki Belarus, the Powiat name was changed in 1939 ( II Rzeczpospolita)

The correct translation would be: To Snów and further.

Snów - nom. case
Snowia - genitive case

Tarnów - Tarnowa
Kraków - Krakowa
Tomaszów -Tomaszowa
Snów - Snowa

the name from the title should be Snowie in the nominative but it still remains just a thought up place

Snów but w Snowie or Snowiu. You can say either way. Perhaps Belorussian pronunciation had some influence here.
Check this out about pałac w Snowiu:

In Polish the name of this village is Snów, in Belorussian Сноў (Snou). Before the WW2 Snów belong to Poland, now to Belarus
