Before you buy or build near Comet, pull up the Little River County flood zone map: FEMA's zone label affects insurance, building rules and resale. What this county guide covers: finding the address on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and pairing it with the county ArcGIS parcel map, especially near Yarborough Landing.
Where the Little River County flood zone map lives
For land near Wilton, flood zones come from FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: enter the street address, then open the map view for that panel. Vacant ground around Foreman can still be found: zoom in from Interstate 49 and click the spot.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Little River County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every tax parcel from Richmond to Ogden. If the land is near Yarborough Landing, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. If you're looking near Rocky Comfort, copy the parcel ID before closing the panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
Little River County in a few facts
Ashdown holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Foreman, Winthrop, Ogden, and Wilton. Roughly 11,805 people call Little River County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across about 531 square miles. The county was organized in 1867, so old deeds can run back a long way around Wilton.
Zones on the Little River County flood zone map
Around Rocky Comfort, zones beginning with A or V mark the Special Flood Hazard Area, land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any year. For a tract near Alleene, shaded Zone X marks moderate flood hazard, roughly the 100- to 500-year range; unshaded X is minimal risk.
Which office to call
Recorded documents for a parcel near Wilton are with the Circuit Clerk, often with an online index. Building or septic questions for a lot near Richmond need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
What to request from a seller
For a parcel near Foreman, request for any Elevation Certificate before closing; getting a quote early avoids surprises.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Alleene, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Wilton with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Legal descriptions in Arkansas
Arkansas follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Richmond is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Yarborough Landing vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Winthrop before you request a deed or survey.
Lining it up with the parcel map
FEMA's map shows zones but not ownership, so open the Little River County ArcGIS parcel map next to see exactly which lot near Rocky Comfort you're looking at.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Ogden are filed with the Circuit Clerk. If you're looking near Richmond, use the document number shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
Low spots and local drainage
Low-lying fields near Comet aren't always studied in detail, so walk the land after rain. Marshy spots near Alleene can limit building too; the National Wetlands Inventory mapper shows mapped wetlands.
A word on accuracy
In and around Alleene, listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on the ground. Closer to Comet, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Money questions tied to the zone
If a building sits in a Special Flood Hazard Area and the loan is federally backed or regulated, the lender will require flood insurance in communities in the NFIP, and that holds around Ashdown too. New construction in a floodplain near Yarborough Landing often needs a floodplain permit; check with the county or town building office before you plan.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
