Step 1: Identifying the Correct Panel

To identify the Panel that covers the property, you will first refer to the Index for the Sampleville Flood Map. By reviewing the Index, you learn that the community has four Panels. The Index title box indicates that all four Panels (0001, 0002, 0003, and 0004) are printed.

Background: You know that the property is on Water Street, which lies in the southeastern portion of the town, south of Interstate Highway 32. Although Water Street is not on the Index, you have determined from the north arrow and the major roads shown on the Index that Water Street is going to be located on Panel 0004.

You then check the title boxes on individual Panels to find Panel 0004.
