you can place snort anywhere on your network that you desire... many networks 
have numerous snorts in place... each one protecting its assigned segment of the 
network...

a map? sure... here's a couple real quick...


internet-+->firewall->switch->workstations
          |
          +->snort(ids)



internet->snort(inline)->firewall->switch->workstations



                                +->netsegment1-+->switch1->workstations
                                |              |
                                |              +->snort3
                                |
internet-+->firewall-+->router-+->netsegment2-+->switch2->workstations
          |           |         |              |
