Before an offer near Silver, look at the Coke County flood zone map: a mapped flood zone changes insurance, building rules and resale. What this Coke County guide covers: locating a parcel on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and pairing it with the Coke CAD interactive map.
Getting started with the Coke County flood zone map
For a more interactive look, open the National Flood Hazard Layer viewer, which draws the zones over aerial imagery, for land near Robert Lee included. Rural land near Robert Lee with no street number can still be found: search the nearest road and click the spot.
Pulling up a parcel
Lots and tracts near Silver appear on the Coke CAD interactive map, a viewer that needs no account. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road and select the outline, whether the land is near Sanco or elsewhere in the county. For a home near Silver, copy the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
Neighboring parcel maps
Coke County borders Mitchell County, Nolan County, Runnels County, Sterling County, and Tom Green County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Blackwell that runs to the line can be split in two county records, so open the neighboring map too. On ground around Blackwell, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map across Texas.
Questions to ask before you buy
With a lot near Robert Lee, request whether the home has flooded before closing; getting a quote early keeps the budget honest.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Silver, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Tennyson is a good backup.
Water near Blackwell
Low-lying fields near Blackwell may not have detailed mapping, so look for water marks and debris lines. Wetlands near Tennyson can limit building even outside a flood zone; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Bronte are handled by the appraisal district, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Robert Lee are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
What the zone letters mean
On ground around Bronte, any A or V zone are Special Flood Hazard Areas, which FEMA defines as a 1% annual chance of flooding. For land near Sanco, shaded Zone X marks moderate flood hazard, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floods; unshaded X means minimal mapped risk.
Backing up the map with records
For property near Bronte, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the County Clerk. On ground around Robert Lee, bring the book and page shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
Parcel lines plus flood zones
FEMA's map shows zones but not ownership, so open the Coke CAD interactive map next for the outline of the tract near Silver.
A quick look at the area
Robert Lee is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Blackwell, Bronte, Sanco, and Silver. About 3,352 people call Coke County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across about 912 square miles. Coke County dates to 1889, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.
What the map can't tell you
If the land is near Robert Lee, listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on the ground. For acreage around Silver, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Lenders and permits
For a structure inside an A or V zone and a federally regulated lender is involved, the lender will require flood insurance where the community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, and that holds around Robert Lee too. Remodeling a house in a zone near Blackwell usually means extra permit review; check with the county or town building office early.
