Weighing a property around Peetz? The Logan County flood zone map tells you whether the lot falls inside a mapped floodplain, and it costs nothing to check. What this Logan County guide covers: locating a parcel on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and pairing it with the Colorado Public Parcel Map.
Getting started with the Logan County flood zone map
On ground around Iliff, the official source is FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: enter the street address, and choose the dynamic map. Rural land near Saint Petersburg with no street number is still easy to locate: search the nearest road and click the spot.
Pulling up a parcel
Lots and tracts near Crook appear on the Colorado Public Parcel Map, a viewer that needs no account. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, and that holds around Proctor too. If you're looking near Crook, copy the parcel ID before closing the panel; every clerk in the county will want it.
Water near Iliff
Low-lying fields near Saint Petersburg may not have detailed mapping, so ask neighbors about past flooding. Wet ground around North Sterling State Park is a separate issue from flood zones; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
Reading A, AE and X
For a home near Saint Petersburg, any A or V zone mark the Special Flood Hazard Area, which FEMA defines as a 1% annual chance of flooding. For a tract near Peetz, a low-risk label isn't a guarantee: FEMA notes that many claims come from moderate- and low-risk areas.
Before you lean on the lines
For a tract near Fleming, acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on the ground. For a tract near Atwood, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Getting your bearings
Sterling is the county seat, where most land records are kept. Other places on the map include Crook, Fleming, Iliff, and Merino, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 20,619 people call Logan County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 1,839 square miles. Logan County was organized in 1887, so old deeds can run back a long way. Features like North Sterling State Park make handy reference points on the map.
Use the county map alongside FEMA
FEMA's map shows zones but not ownership, so open the Colorado Public Parcel Map next for the outline of the tract near Proctor.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Saint Petersburg, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Dailey with its ID keeps working without signal.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Atwood belong with the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Proctor need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Money questions tied to the zone
For a structure inside an A or V zone and a federally regulated lender is involved, the lender will require flood insurance in communities in the NFIP, and that holds around Peetz too. Remodeling a house in a zone near Sterling often needs a floodplain permit; ask the local floodplain administrator early.
A short flood checklist
Ask the listing agent about past flood claims for the house near Merino; getting a quote early keeps the budget honest.
The paper trail behind a parcel
For a home near Fleming, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the County Clerk and Recorder. In and around Saint Petersburg, use the document number from the tax record and the lookup takes minutes.
Legal descriptions in Colorado
Colorado is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Saint Petersburg cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near North Sterling State Park odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Crook when you talk to a surveyor.
