This section may include information such as:

Identification of flood sources studied by detailed methods and the geographical limits of the study

Names the streams and any other bodies of water studied by detailed methods and the upstream and downstream limits of studied streams, including Base Level Engineering (BLE).

Identification of flood sources studied by approximate analyses

Names the streams and any other bodies of water studied by less than detailed methods.

Note: "studied by less than detailed methods" refers to areas subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event generally determined using various approximate methodologies. Because sufficient detailed hydraulic analyses have not been performed, no Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) or flood depths are shown for these areas. See FEMA.gov Zone A page available at https://www.fema.gov/zone for more information.

Vicinity Map

Shows the location of the studied community in reference to County and/or State. Usually a portion of a USGS map shows the community by jurisdictional limits or a star.

Note: The FIS for most countywide studies will not contain a vicinity map. However, these studies will have a general map on the cover showing the location of the community or county.
