You are correct, I have seen locality specific snakes that identify with counties, or even parts of counties. However, those are usually king snakes. I visited with a fellow last year who collects corns from the wild in mainly an agricultural area. He had corns taken from that area that were completely different in appearance. One corn in particular appeared to be a Miami phase, no different than Miami's I have seen that were found way across the state. He had one hypo , one anery and a few I would label normals.
I'm afraid I have not found a locality specific morph in all my herping travels. I've seen some corns that resemble hypos, found a road kill that resembled a ghost, a dark anery, and a couple best described as having a gray background with burgundy saddles. While I don't usually take corns from the wild, I now carry a little kit with me so I can capture a corn and at least take pictures.
