Where the Logan County flood zone map lives

The viewer Logan County publishes

With a lot near Winona, copy the parcel ID before closing the panel; every records desk in the county uses it to find the file.
Land on the county line
Logan County meets Gove County, Scott County, Sherman County, Thomas County, and Wallace County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Page City can be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too.

What the zone letters mean
On ground around Winona, zones beginning with A or V are Special Flood Hazard Areas, land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any year. If the land is near Russell Springs, a shaded X area is moderate risk, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floods; unshaded X is minimal risk.
On site with the map

Reading the legal description

Lenders and permits

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.
