Step 3: Finding the Specific Location of the Property

You know the property lies on the northern side of Water Street, east of the intersection of Oak Avenue and Water Street.

First, you find the distance in feet of the property from that intersection on a tax assessor's map, a plat map, or in a legal description.

You find that your property is 2,000 feet east of the intersection.

Then, you convert that distance to inches using the flood map scale. The map scale is 500 feet to the inch, therefore 2,000 feet would equal 4 inches.

You measure 4 inches on the flood map Panel by scaling east of the intersection of Oak Avenue and Water Street to locate the property site.

*On a map scale where 1 inch=500 feet, 250 feet on the ground would equal 1/2 inch on the flood map, and 50 feet on the ground would equal to 1/10 inch on the flood map.
