Weighing a property around Bacon? Checking the Coshocton County flood zone map reveals whether the lot falls inside a mapped floodplain, and it costs nothing to check. What this county guide covers: locating a parcel on FEMA's map, reading the zone codes, and pairing it with the county ArcGIS parcel map around Fresno.
Getting started with the Coshocton County flood zone map
For parcel-by-parcel detail, use the National Flood Hazard Layer viewer, which lets you click a spot and read its zone, whether the land is near West Lafayette or elsewhere in the county. Vacant ground around Canal Lewisville is still easy to locate: pan from the closest town and click inside the land.
The viewer Coshocton County publishes
Your first stop is the Coshocton County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes every tax parcel in the county, Canal Lewisville included. In and around Canal Lewisville, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. With a lot near Bacon, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county will want it.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Canal Lewisville, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Nellie with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Backing up the map with records
When the details count, request the recorded deed from the County Recorder; the viewer just points to it, for land near Bacon included. Older tracts near Canal Lewisville can sit on many deeds, and a title company is worth hiring before a purchase.
Sections, lots and bearings
Rural deeds near West Lafayette are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Town lots near Canal Lewisville usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, which is simpler to follow. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Fresno before you request a deed or survey.
Places you'll see on the map
Coshocton serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Conesville, Nellie, Plainfield, and Warsaw, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 36,869 people live in Coshocton County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 564 square miles. The county was organized in 1811, so old deeds can run back a long way, at least around Warsaw.
Zones on the Coshocton County flood zone map
For property near West Lafayette, any A or V zone mark the Special Flood Hazard Area, which FEMA defines as a 1% annual chance of flooding. For a home near Bakersville, shaded Zone X is moderate risk, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floods; unshaded X is minimal risk.
Parcel lines plus flood zones
FEMA's map shows zones but not ownership, so pair it with the Coshocton County ArcGIS parcel map for the outline of the tract near Canal Lewisville.
Insurance, lenders and building
For property near Plainfield, get the Elevation Certificate if one exists: it can change the insurance price a lot. New construction in a floodplain near Canal Lewisville usually means extra permit review; check with the county or town building office before you plan.
Questions to ask before you buy
For a home near West Lafayette, request for any Elevation Certificate before closing; getting a quote early keeps the budget honest.
Beyond the mapped zones
Creeks and ditches near Fresno may not have detailed mapping, so ask neighbors about past flooding. Wetlands near West Lafayette can limit building even outside a flood zone; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
Land on the county line
The county touches Guernsey County, Holmes County, Knox County, Licking County, and Muskingum County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map, at least around West Lafayette. Ground near West Lafayette that runs to the line can be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map too. Out toward Plainfield, the Platbookmapper state page links every neighboring county map for Ohio.
Which office to call
Anything recorded against property around Fresno are with the County Recorder, sometimes only in person. Building or septic questions for a lot near Bacon need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
