Donna,

According to the SFMAP and SNMAP help pages:
     Note that wind symbols and markers are always plotted at the center.

So, there isn't a way to specify the location of MARK within the station model 
plot.
The GPANOT program can be used to plot a marker at an arbitrary location if you 
only
need a few locations, but not a general solution to use in the SNPARM location 
model.
