Weighing a property around Jacksonville? Checking the North Little Rock flood zone map reveals whether it sits in a FEMA flood zone, and it costs nothing to check. This North Little Rock guide covers: locating a parcel on FEMA's map, reading the zone codes, and pairing it with the Pulaski County parcel viewer.
Checking the North Little Rock flood zone map step by step
Flood zones come from FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: type an address near Maumelle, and pick the FIRMette or map view. A tract near Wrightsville without an address can still be found: search the nearest road and click the spot.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Pulaski County parcel viewer; it covers each tax parcel from Cammack Village to Maumelle. If you're looking near Little Rock, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For a parcel near Sherwood, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
What to request from a seller
Request whether the home has flooded on the property near Wrightsville; an insurance quote early keeps the budget honest.
Limits of the parcel data
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Cammack Village can sit several feet off the line on screen. Around Maumelle, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
City limits and county records
North Little Rock is part of Pulaski County, Arkansas, and the county assessor maps its lots. Closer to Cammack Village, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, but the county runs assessment and recording. Lots just outside the town limits near Wrightsville usually falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Little Rock, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Sherwood keeps working without signal.
Zones on the North Little Rock flood zone map
With a lot near Wrightsville, any A or V zone are Special Flood Hazard Areas, land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any year. For acreage around Sherwood, shaded Zone X is moderate risk, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floods; unshaded X is minimal risk.
Parcel lines plus flood zones
FEMA's map shows zones but not ownership, so open the Pulaski County parcel viewer next to see exactly which lot near Jacksonville you're looking at.
Beyond the mapped zones
Small streams around Sherwood may not have detailed mapping, so ask neighbors about past flooding. Wet ground around Sherwood is a separate issue from flood zones; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
Insurance, lenders and building
For a structure inside an A or V zone and the loan is federally backed or regulated, mandatory purchase rules apply where the community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, whether the land is near Jacksonville or elsewhere in the county. Remodeling a house in a zone near Wrightsville usually means extra permit review; check with the county or town building office early.
A quick look at the area
Little Rock is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Sherwood, Cammack Village, and Jacksonville, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 400,009 people live in Pulaski County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 758 square miles. Pulaski County was formed in 1818, and some chains of title near Sherwood are long.
Sections, lots and bearings
Arkansas follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Wrightsville reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Little Rock odd-sized. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Sherwood for any title or survey request.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Jacksonville belong with the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Jacksonville need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Quick answers

Can I challenge a flood zone near Jacksonville?
