Weighing a property around Lonoke? Checking the Cabot flood zone map reveals whether FEMA puts it in a high-risk zone, and it costs nothing to check. In this Cabot guide: finding the address on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and pairing it with the Lonoke County ArcGIS parcel map.
The Cabot flood zone map: start here
Start with FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: search an address around Lonoke, then open the map view for that panel. Vacant ground around Lonoke can still be found: zoom in from Interstate 57 and click inside the land.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Lonoke County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Ward included. For acreage around England, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For land near Austin, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every office in the county asks for it first.
What to request from a seller
Request about past flood claims on the property near Carlisle; getting a quote early avoids surprises.
Before you lean on the lines
The acreage figure is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near England. For acreage around Ward, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Places you'll see on the map
Lonoke holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Austin, Ward, and Carlisle, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 75,944 people call Lonoke County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 771 square miles. Lonoke County was organized in 1874, and some chains of title near Lonoke are long.
City limits and county records
Cabot lies within Lonoke County, Arkansas, and the county assessor maps its lots. Around Lonoke, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the town limits out by Carlisle generally follows county rules instead.
Offices that can help
Anything recorded against property around England come from the Circuit Clerk, often with an online index. Building or septic questions for a lot near Humnoke are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
What the zone letters mean
In and around Humnoke, zones beginning with A or V mark the Special Flood Hazard Area, meaning a 1% or greater chance of flooding each year. On ground around Humnoke, shaded Zone X is moderate risk, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floods; unshaded X means minimal mapped risk.
The paper trail behind a parcel
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed from the Circuit Clerk; the parcel map near Ward only summarizes it. Older tracts near Lonoke can sit on a long string of deeds, and a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Lining it up with the parcel map
FEMA doesn't draw property lines, so check the Lonoke County ArcGIS parcel map too to confirm you have the right parcel near Austin.
Water near Humnoke
Low-lying fields near England aren't always studied in detail, so walk the land after rain. Wetlands near Humnoke can limit building even outside a flood zone; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
Lenders and permits
For land near Ward, an Elevation Certificate from a surveyor helps: it can change the insurance price a lot. Building or adding on near Ward in a mapped zone usually means extra permit review; call the permitting office before you plan.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near England, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Lonoke with its ID keeps working without signal.
Sections, lots and bearings
Arkansas uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around England reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Humnoke can be irregular. Keep the legal description for land near Lonoke before you request a deed or survey.
