Before you buy or build near Tuscarawas, pull up the Uhrichsville flood zone map: FEMA's zone label affects insurance, building rules and resale. In this Uhrichsville guide: locating a parcel on FEMA's map, decoding A, AE and X, and pairing it with the Ohio Statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer.
The Uhrichsville flood zone map: start here
The official source is FEMA's Flood Map Service Center: search an address around Gnadenhutten, and pick the FIRMette or map view. Rural land near Barnhill with no street number is still easy to locate: zoom in from the nearest road and click the spot.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the Ohio Statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it maps each assessed parcel around Midvale and Tuscarawas. Without an address in hand, zoom in from Barnhill until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. For a tract near Barnhill, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Places you'll see on the map
For a tract near Gnadenhutten, new Philadelphia is the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Dennison, Midvale, Tuscarawas, and Barnhill, each with its own cluster of lots. About 91,874 people call Tuscarawas County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 567 square miles. Tuscarawas County was organized in 1808, and some chains of title near Tuscarawas are long.
Beyond the mapped zones
Small streams around Roswell may not have detailed mapping, so ask neighbors about past flooding. Marshy spots near Tuscarawas can limit building too; check the National Wetlands Inventory mapper for a first look.
Uhrichsville, OH: the basics
Uhrichsville is part of Tuscarawas County, Ohio, and the county assessor maps its lots. For land near Midvale, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the town limits out by Roswell usually follows county rules rather than the town's.

Tuscarawas County meets Carroll County, Coshocton County, Guernsey County, Harrison County, and Holmes County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Midvale that runs to the line may show up across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too.

Zones on the Uhrichsville flood zone map
For property near Barnhill, any A or V zone are Special Flood Hazard Areas, land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any year. With a lot near Midvale, minimal risk is not no risk: according to FEMA, floods happen outside mapped zones too.
Backing up the map with records
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, whether the land is near Roswell or elsewhere in the county. Older tracts around Roswell can go back through several deeds, so a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Questions to ask before you buy
Ask the seller about past flood claims for the house near Dennison; getting a quote early keeps the budget honest.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Roswell, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Gnadenhutten with its ID keeps working without signal.
Parcel lines plus flood zones
FEMA doesn't draw property lines, so pair it with the Ohio Statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer to see exactly which lot near Roswell you're looking at.
Reading the legal description
Rural deeds near Roswell commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in Barnhill are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Tuscarawas for any title or survey request.
Money questions tied to the zone
For property near Barnhill, get the Elevation Certificate if one exists: it can change the insurance price a lot. Remodeling a house in a zone near Dennison often needs a floodplain permit; ask the local floodplain administrator early.
