Land along the creek bottoms near Prairie View and the flats outside Caulksville are where a Logan County flood zone map lookup matters most. Here's how to read FEMA's map for a Logan County, AR property and match it to the parcel record.
Below are the FEMA links, a plain reading of the zone labels, notes on where water shapes land around Caulksville, and short answers to common questions.
Look up the Logan County flood zone map step by step
Start at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and enter the property address in Magazine or anywhere else in the county. The site returns the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panel covering that Magazine location, which you can view or download. If the PDF panel for Logan County is hard to read, try FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer viewer and reports the zone wherever you click near Magazine. Switch to the Logan County ArcGIS parcel map and find the same parcel near Blue Mountain. Laying the county parcel outline beside the FEMA shading shows whether a homesite near Blue Mountain sits above or inside the zone.
Search Logan County parcels by owner, address or ID
The county's own public map is the Logan County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Booneville and the rest of the county. Most people find their Logan County tract fastest by searching an address in Scranton, then clicking the outline. For a backup route to the map covering Scranton, our Logan County directory entry keeps the link current.
Zone A, AE and X in plain English
On the FIRM covering Logan County, zones that start with A or V are Special Flood Hazard Areas, meaning FEMA estimates a 1-percent annual chance of flooding. A surveyor working near Magazine uses the base flood elevation printed for AE zones; unnumbered A zones do not have one. Shaded Zone X around Magazine is moderate risk, between the 1-percent and 0.2-percent annual chance lines. Clear, unshaded X near Magazine is outside the 500-year floodplain.
Unmapped creeks in Logan County
A creek near Blue Mountain that shows no detailed zone, which is why it is worth walking the ground after a heavy rain.
Seller questions about flood history
For a house near Scranton, ask the seller for any elevation certificate on file and the current flood insurance declarations page. An agent working in Logan County can quote flood coverage once you know the zone for the lot near Scranton.
Floodways and restudies near Booneville
Look at the effective date printed on the county panel, since a new study can redraw zones around Morrison Bluff. Floodways, shown as hatched areas on some panels, are the channel and nearby land that must stay open, and building there near Morrison Bluff faces the strictest rules.
When the map affects a deal
Lenders watch the zone closely on Logan County properties. Where a building in Magazine falls inside an A or V zone and secures a loan from a federally regulated or insured lender, a flood policy becomes a loan condition, provided the community near Magazine takes part in the National Flood Insurance Program. Outside the A zones around Blue Mountain, coverage is optional, although some lenders require it anyway. Think the map is wrong about a house in Magazine? A Letter of Map Amendment request is the formal route; a surveyor near Blue Mountain can supply the elevation data. Adding on to a house near Blue Mountain inside the zone often requires a permit and an elevation check, so call the county or the town office in Magazine before work starts.
Logan County, AR: common questions
How do I challenge a flood zone for a lot in Scranton?
For a lot in Scranton, hire a surveyor for an elevation certificate, then file a LOMA request with FEMA.
Where do I get an elevation certificate in Logan County?
A professional surveyor or engineer prepares it, and the building office serving Scranton may already have one on file for newer construction.
Do I need a permit to build in the floodplain near Scranton?
Often, but local floodplain rules apply; ask the county or town building office in Scranton well before you buy.
My lot in Scranton shows Zone AE. What does that mean?
Zone AE on a lot in Scranton is a mapped 100-year floodplain with a base flood elevation, so mandatory insurance rules apply to federally backed mortgages.
How can I check a Logan County, AR flood zone?
Look it up at FEMA's Flood Map Service Center, then match the parcel lines in the Logan County ArcGIS parcel map; for land near Morrison Bluff, a zone starting with A or V is high risk.
