Before an offer near Thackerville, check the Love County flood zone map: FEMA's zone label affects insurance, building rules and resale. In this Love County guide: locating a parcel on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and matching it with the county parcel viewer.
The Love County flood zone map: start here
For a tract near Orr, the official source is FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: enter the street address, and choose the dynamic map. Rural land near Marietta with no street number can still be found: pan from the closest town then click the parcel area.
Opening the official parcel viewer
For a tract near Hoxbar, the no-cost parcel map for this area is the OKMaps (Oklahoma Office of Geographic Information) - Statewide Parcels layer, and anyone can open it without signing up. Without an address in hand, pan along the nearest road and select the outline, and that holds around Leon too. For a parcel near Jimtown, copy the parcel ID while you have it open; each office in the county will want it.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Orr, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Jimtown and its lines is a good backup.
A word on accuracy
Near Marietta, listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on the ground. For a home near Jimtown, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Zones on the Love County flood zone map
For a parcel near Courtney, zones beginning with A or V are Special Flood Hazard Areas, meaning a 1% or greater chance of flooding each year. For a parcel near Hoxbar, a shaded X area is moderate risk, roughly the 100- to 500-year range; unshaded X is minimal risk.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, whether the land is near Orr or elsewhere in the county. For a home near Courtney, have ready the instrument number shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
Places you'll see on the map
Marietta serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. Other places on the map include Leon, Thackerville, Courtney, and Enville, each with its own cluster of lots. About 10,296 people call Love County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 514 square miles. The county dates to 1907, and some chains of title near Leon are long.
Use the county map alongside FEMA
FEMA doesn't draw property lines, so pair it with the OKMaps (Oklahoma Office of Geographic Information) - Statewide Parcels layer for the outline of the tract near Courtney.
A short flood checklist
Ask the seller whether the home has flooded for the house near Leon; an insurance quote early avoids surprises.
Next door to Love County
Love County touches Carter County, Jefferson County, Marshall County, Cooke County, TX, and Grayson County, TX; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Jimtown may be split in two county records, so open the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. On ground around Courtney, the Platbookmapper state page lists every neighboring county map across Oklahoma.
How land is described here
Oklahoma is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Enville reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Jimtown odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Thackerville when you talk to a surveyor.
Beyond the mapped zones
Small streams around Marietta may not have detailed mapping, so walk the land after rain. Marshy spots near Leon can limit building too; the National Wetlands Inventory mapper shows mapped wetlands.
What a flood zone means for a buyer
For a structure inside an A or V zone and a federally regulated lender is involved, flood insurance is generally required where the community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, which applies near Marietta as much as anywhere. Building or adding on near Hoxbar in a mapped zone can trigger elevation rules; ask the local floodplain administrator before you plan.
Questions about the Love County flood zone map
What is the difference between Zone A and AE around Leon?
In most cases, both are high-risk zones, but only AE has a base flood elevation, so builders near Jimtown design to that elevation.
Will my lender require flood insurance near Courtney?
For most people, lenders generally require it for buildings near Hoxbar in a Special Flood Hazard Area when the loan is federally regulated or insured; elsewhere it's optional.
How often are flood maps updated for land near Courtney?
It depends, but a new study can move a zone line near Jimtown; check the effective date on the panel.
How do I get a property removed from a flood zone around Enville?
It depends, but FEMA's LOMA process is the usual route when a building near Courtney sits above the base flood elevation; a surveyor's elevation data supports it.
Is the parcel map a survey in Love County?
For property near Leon, parcel lines are tax drawings, not surveys, so a fence may sit off the line

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.
