The sections below go from the FEMA search to the Lee County parcel record, then cover insurance, permits and map changes near Rondo.
How to check the Lee County flood zone map
FEMA's official flood maps for Lee County are free at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. The site returns the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panel covering that Aubrey location, which you can view or download. If the PDF panel for Lee County is hard to read, try FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer viewer and reports the zone wherever you click near Aubrey. Then open the Lee County ArcGIS parcel map for Lee County to confirm the parcel near Aubrey. If the Lee County viewer has a floodplain layer, treat it as a convenience copy and confirm on FEMA's map.
Opening the Lee County parcel viewer
For land around LaGrange, open the Lee County ArcGIS parcel map (an Esri ArcGIS web map); it's the map Lee County itself publishes. Most people locate their Lee County tract fastest by searching an address in LaGrange, then clicking the outline. For a backup route to the map covering LaGrange, our Lee County directory entry keeps the link current.
Zone A, AE and X in plain English
On the FIRM covering Lee County, zones that start with A or V are Special Flood Hazard Areas, defined by a 1-percent annual chance of being flooded. Where a Lee County tract shows Zone AE, there's a base flood elevation to compare a building against; in Zone A there is not one. Shaded Zone X around Aubrey is moderate risk, between the 1-percent and 0.2-percent annual chance lines. Unshaded X (or C) on the Lee County panel means minimal risk.
Low ground and small streams around Aubrey
A low spot on a Lee County tract outside any mapped zone, which is why it's worth walking the ground after a heavy rain.
Where Lee County land records are kept
For a tract around Haynes, the recorded documents sit with the circuit clerk, who ordinarily serves as ex officio recorder; the parcel map is built from them for taxes. A deed for land near LaGrange is normally recorded by the county circuit clerk, who doubles as recorder under Arkansas law. Copy the parcel number and legal description from the county record well before you request a deed for land near LaGrange.
The lay of the land around Marianna
Marianna is the county seat, and Aubrey, Haynes, LaGrange, and Moro are among the other towns on the county map. Smaller places such as Kokomo, Brickeys, and Midway, Arkansas appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Lee County had an estimated 8,201 people in 2023 (Census Bureau), spread across about 600 square miles. Outside Haynes, most of the county map is farm, ranch or timber ground with large, irregular tracts.
When the map affects a deal
The zone shows up again when a loan on a house near Haynes is underwritten. When a structure near Haynes is mapped in a high-risk zone and carries a federally backed mortgage, federal rules call for flood insurance, provided the community near Aubrey takes part in the National Flood Insurance Program. In Zone X near Aubrey, coverage is optional; pricing a policy for land near Haynes is still worth a call. Where a structure near Aubrey looks higher than the shading suggests, FEMA's LOMA process allows a review; a surveyor near Haynes can supply the elevation data. Adding on to a house near Haynes inside the zone has to meet local floodplain rules, so call the county or the town office in Aubrey before work starts.
