Ahead of any purchase around Elwood, pull up the Tremonton flood map: a mapped flood zone changes insurance, building rules and resale. This Tremonton guide covers: locating a parcel on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and pairing it with the Box Elder County ArcGIS parcel map.
The Tremonton flood map: start here
For parcel-by-parcel detail, open the National Flood Hazard Layer viewer, which lets you click a spot and read its zone. Rural land near Fielding with no street number is still easy to locate: zoom in from US Route 89 then click the parcel area.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Box Elder County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel from Honeyville to Elwood. Out toward Fielding, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. If the land is near Bear River City, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Tremonton, UT: the basics
Tremonton sits in Box Elder County, Utah, and the county assessor maps its lots. In and around Elwood, City or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the city limits toward Deweyville generally follows county rules rather than the town's.
Box Elder County in a few facts
Brigham City serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Garland, Elwood, Deweyville, and Fielding, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 62,684 people call Box Elder County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 5,746 square miles. Box Elder County was formed in 1856, so old deeds can run back a long way. Features like Great Salt Lake, Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, and Caribou-Targhee National Forest help you orient on the aerial around Honeyville.
Questions to ask before you buy
Request whether the home has flooded on the property near Garland; an insurance quote early keeps the budget honest.
Sections, lots and bearings
Utah is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Fielding is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Deweyville odd-sized. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Deweyville before you request a deed or survey.
Decoding the flood zone labels
In and around Garland, zones beginning with A or V mark the Special Flood Hazard Area, meaning a 1% or greater chance of flooding each year. For a parcel near Deweyville, shaded Zone X is moderate risk, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floods; unshaded X is minimal risk.
Offices that can help
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Honeyville come from the County Recorder, sometimes only in person. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Honeyville need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Matching the zone to the lot lines
FEMA doesn't draw property lines, so check the Box Elder County ArcGIS parcel map too to confirm you have the right parcel near Honeyville.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners for a parcel near Bear River City. For a tract near Bear River City, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Insurance, lenders and building
Closer to Bear River City, ask for an Elevation Certificate: it records the building's elevation against the base flood. Building or adding on near Deweyville in a mapped zone often needs a floodplain permit; call the permitting office early.
Beyond the mapped zones
Small streams around Elwood aren't always studied in detail, so look for water marks and debris lines. Marshy spots near Elwood can limit building too; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Fielding, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Fielding and its lines keeps working without signal.
