Is that lot in Mountain View in a flood zone? The Stone County flood zone map answer comes from FEMA, and it is free to look up. For any tract in Stone County, Arkansas, the answer affects insurance, permits and resale.
Next: FEMA's search tool, the zone labels you'll see for Stone County, and how the parcel record confirms which tract you're on.
How to use the Stone County flood zone map
Open the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and type a county street address, say one in Mountain View. The site returns the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panel covering that Mountain View location, which you can view or download. For an interactive view of Stone County, FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer viewer draws the zones over aerial imagery, which shows how much of a Stone County parcel sits inside the zone. Switch to the Stone County ArcGIS parcel map and find the same tract close to Fifty-Six. If the Stone County viewer has a floodplain layer, treat it as a convenience copy and confirm on FEMA's map.
Search Stone County parcels by owner, address or ID
The county's own public map is the Stone County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Fox and the rest of the county. Use the search box for an address in Fox or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a tract close to Mountain View. For a backup route to the map covering Mountain View, our Stone County directory entry keeps the link current.
High, moderate and minimal risk in Stone County
For a lot in Mountain View, the label matters more than the color: A and V zones are Special Flood Hazard Areas, land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any given year (the base or 100-year flood). Zone AE near Fifty-Six means FEMA published a base flood elevation; plain Zone A means no detailed elevation was studied. Shaded Zone X around Mountain View sits in the moderate band between the 100-year and 500-year floods. Clear, unshaded X near Mountain View is outside the 500-year floodplain.
Low ground and small streams around Mountain View
A creek near Fifty-Six that shows no detailed zone, which is why it is worth walking the ground after a heavy rain.
Questions to ask before buying in Stone County
For a house near Mountain View, ask the seller for any elevation certificate on file and the current flood insurance declarations page. Quotes for land near Allison depend on the zone and the building's elevation, so bring both to the agent.
Floodways and restudies near Fifty-Six
Look at the effective date printed on the county panel, since a new study can redraw zones around Fox. Floodways, shown as hatched areas on some panels, are the channel and nearby land that must stay open, and building there near Fox faces the strictest rules.
Flood insurance and building rules in Stone County
Here's why the zone matters at a closing in Mountain View. If a barn or house outside Mountain View falls inside an A or V zone and carries a federally backed mortgage, the lender must require flood coverage under the Flood Disaster Protection Act, wherever the community joins the NFIP. In Zone X near Mountain View, coverage is optional; pricing a policy for land near Fifty-Six is still worth a call. Where a structure near Mountain View looks higher than the shading suggests, a Letter of Map Amendment request is the formal route, generally backed by an elevation certificate from a surveyor who works in the county. Building or filling inside a mapped zone near Mountain View commonly requires a permit and an elevation check; the county floodplain administrator can say what applies.
