Before you buy or build near Myton, pull up the Roosevelt flood zone map: the zone on that map shapes insurance, permits and resale. Covered here for Roosevelt: locating a parcel on FEMA's map, reading the zone codes, and pairing it with the Duchesne County ArcGIS parcel map.
Where the Roosevelt flood zone map lives
Start with FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: type an address near Tabiona, and pick the FIRMette or map view. Vacant ground around Tabiona is still easy to locate: zoom in from US Route 191 and click inside the land.
Getting to the right map
Lots and tracts near Myton appear on the Duchesne County ArcGIS parcel map, a viewer that needs no account. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along US Route 191 and select the outline. Out toward Tabiona, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
City limits and county records
Roosevelt sits in Duchesne County, Utah, which means parcel data comes from the county. For property near Myton, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Lots just outside the city limits out by Altamont often follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Sections, lots and bearings
Utah follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Tabiona is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Altamont can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Myton when you talk to a surveyor.
Getting your bearings
Duchesne holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Myton, Altamont, and Tabiona. Roughly 20,477 people live in Duchesne County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 3,235 square miles. The county was organized in 1915, and some chains of title near Myton are long. Landmarks such as Ashley National Forest help you orient on the aerial around Myton.
Neighboring parcel maps

Water near Altamont
Creeks and ditches near Myton may not have detailed mapping, so look for water marks and debris lines. Marshy spots near Altamont can limit building too; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
Reading A, AE and X
For a tract near Tabiona, any A or V zone are Special Flood Hazard Areas, land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any year. If you're looking near Tabiona, a shaded X area marks moderate flood hazard, roughly the 100- to 500-year range; unshaded X means minimal mapped risk.
Offices that can help
Recorded documents for a parcel near Myton are with the County Recorder, sometimes only in person. Questions about what you can build around Tabiona need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Parcel lines plus flood zones
FEMA doesn't draw property lines, so pair it with the Duchesne County ArcGIS parcel map to confirm you have the right parcel near Tabiona.
Money questions tied to the zone
For a structure inside an A or V zone and a federally regulated lender is involved, the lender will require flood insurance in communities in the NFIP, which applies near Myton as much as anywhere. Remodeling a house in a zone near Tabiona usually means extra permit review; ask the local floodplain administrator early.
Questions to ask before you buy
Ask the seller about past flood claims on the property near Tabiona; getting a quote early keeps the budget honest.
Backing up the map with records
For anything that matters, pull the recorded deed from the County Recorder; the parcel map near Altamont only summarizes it. For acreage around Altamont, have ready the document number from the tax record to skip a name search.

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.
