Is that lot in Happy in a flood zone? The Randall County flood zone map answer comes from FEMA, and it's free to look up. Here's how to read FEMA's map for a Randall County, TX property and match it to the parcel record.
Next: FEMA's search tool, the zone labels you'll see for Randall County, and how the parcel record confirms which tract you're on.
How to use the Randall County flood zone map
The authoritative source for a Randall County flood zone map is FEMA, so begin at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. If a tract around Canyon has no street number yet, search the nearest road and pan to it. For an irregular lot near Canyon, try FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer viewer; zoom to the tract around Canyon and click. Switch to the Randall CAD map and find the same tract around Canyon. The Randall County record gives the parcel number and legal description that an insurer or lender near Timbercreek Canyon may ask for.
Opening the Randall County parcel viewer
For land around Amarillo, open the Randall CAD map (the ProdigyCAD maps portal); it's the map Randall County itself publishes. Rural accounts near Amarillo list an abstract in the legal description; copy it with the county property ID. For a backup route to the map covering Amarillo, our Randall County directory entry keeps the link current.
From Canyon to the back roads
Town lots cluster around Canyon, the county seat, and Amarillo, Happy, Lake Tanglewood, and Palisades. Smaller places such as Rockwell Place, Umbarger, and Ogg appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Census Bureau estimates put Randall County at about 148,255 residents in 2023 on about 913 square miles of land. The Randall County map mixes subdivision lots near Lake Tanglewood with farm and wooded tracts farther out. Landforms such as the Palo Duro Canyon shape where roads and homesites fall in the county.
Near the Randall County line
Randall County borders Armstrong County, Carson County, Castro County, Deaf Smith County, and Oldham County, and each keeps its own parcel map and records. Our Texas page links each map neighboring Randall County.
Where Randall County land records are kept
The parcel layer for Randall County points back to recorded deeds and plats, kept by the county's recording office (its title varies by state). For a tract around Amarillo, the appraised value is set by the county appraisal district, which Texas law keeps separate from county government. Easements and access rights near Amarillo live in recorded documents, so read the deed, not just the county map.
Zone A, AE and X in plain English
For a lot in Timbercreek Canyon, the label matters more than the color: A and V zones are Special Flood Hazard Areas, defined by a 1-percent annual chance of being flooded. A surveyor working near Timbercreek Canyon uses the base flood elevation printed for AE zones; unnumbered A zones do not have one. Shaded Zone X around Timbercreek Canyon is moderate risk, between the 1-percent and 0.2-percent annual chance lines. Unshaded Zone X near Canyon is minimal risk.
Unmapped creeks in Randall County
A low spot on a Randall County tract outside any mapped zone can still flood; FEMA says moderate- and low-risk areas still carry risk.
Insurance, permits and map changes
Here's why the zone matters at a closing in Timbercreek Canyon. When a county home is mapped in a high-risk zone and secures a loan from a federally regulated or insured lender, a flood policy becomes a loan condition; that applies where the local government around Canyon is in the National Flood Insurance Program. Outside the A zones around Canyon, insurance is a choice, not a mandate, though a lender in Texas can still ask for it. If a building near Canyon sits above the flood line, FEMA's LOMA process allows a review, supported by elevation data from a licensed surveyor. Adding on to a house near Canyon inside the zone has to meet local floodplain rules, so call the county or the town office in Timbercreek Canyon before work starts.
