Before you buy or build near Walworth, check the Newark flood zone map: the zone on that map shapes insurance, building rules and resale. In this Newark guide: finding the address on FEMA's map, reading the zone codes, and pairing it with the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer.
Checking the Newark flood zone map step by step
Start with FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: type an address near Macedon, and choose the dynamic map. Vacant ground around Lyons is still easy to locate: zoom in from the nearest road and click the spot.
Getting to the right map
Parcels around Palmyra are published on the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, a viewer that needs no account. Without an address in hand, zoom in from Palmyra until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. With a lot near Clyde, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
How land is described here
Rural deeds near Macedon are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Marion usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Walworth for any title or survey request.
Wayne County in a few facts
Lyons is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Palmyra, Marion, and Macedon, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 90,829 people live in Wayne County (Census estimate, 2023) across about 604 square miles. Wayne County was formed in 1823, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Features like Lake Ontario, Sodus Bay, and Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge make handy reference points on the map near Clyde.
Newark and the county around it
Newark lies within Wayne County, New York, which means parcel data comes from the county. With a lot near Lyons, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits near Marion usually falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Zones on the Newark flood zone map
For a home near Lyons, any A or V zone are Special Flood Hazard Areas, land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any year. For land near Lyons, minimal risk is not no risk: according to FEMA, many claims come from moderate- and low-risk areas.
Land on the county line
Wayne County meets Cayuga County, Monroe County, Ontario County, and Seneca County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Macedon may show up in two county records, so look at the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. In and around Lyons, our state page links every bordering county map across New York.
Use the county map alongside FEMA
FEMA doesn't draw property lines, so check the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer too for the outline of the tract near Macedon.
What a flood zone means for a buyer
With a lot near Palmyra, ask for an Elevation Certificate: it records the building's elevation against the base flood. Building or adding on near Lyons in a mapped zone often needs a floodplain permit; call the permitting office before you plan.
Limits of the parcel data
The acreage figure is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on land around Walworth. For a tract near Macedon, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Walworth are handled by the county Real Property Tax Services office, the office behind the parcel record. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Macedon are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Beyond the mapped zones
Small streams around Palmyra aren't always studied in detail, so walk the land after rain. Wet ground around Macedon is a separate issue from flood zones; the National Wetlands Inventory mapper shows mapped wetlands.
A short flood checklist
Ask the seller whether the home has flooded for the house near Macedon; an insurance quote early avoids surprises.
Quick answers
What is a LOMA around Clyde?
It depends, but you can ask FEMA for a LOMA if surveyed elevations show the building near Lyons is above the BFE; it starts with an elevation survey.
Do I need to worry about flooding in Zone X for land near Macedon?
Short answer: Zone X near Lyons means moderate (shaded) or minimal (unshaded) mapped risk; FEMA notes that a large share of claims come from these areas.
Do I need flood insurance in Newark?
It depends, but for a building near Lyons in an A or V zone with a federally backed or regulated mortgage, it's generally required, in communities that take part in the NFIP.
How can I tell if a house near Marion is in a flood zone?
For most people, FEMA's free map shows the zone for any spot near Macedon, and the zone code appears on the map.
Can I use the viewer in the field near Walworth?
The map near Macedon usually works on a phone; screenshots help offline.

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.
