Towns in Fallon County: Baker.
Flood zone by address
ParcelSheet reads FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer at the lot: the zone, whether it is a high risk area where lenders ask for flood insurance, and the base flood elevation where FEMA lists one. FEMA has 12 FIRM panels covering Fallon County, the newest effective September 2025; no coastal V zones are mapped in it.
The official panel and any Letter of Map Amendment are at FEMA's Map Service Center. An elevation certificate for a Fallon house comes from a licensed surveyor and is often on file with the county or city building office.
Property lines
The parcel outline, parcel number and mapped size come from the Montana State Library, Montana Cadastral (MSDI), from Department of Revenue records, so a Fallon lot shows the same lines the Montana Department of Revenue draws. Fallon County covers about 1,037,180 acres of land and 1,462 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Montana Department of Revenue keeps the parcel record (Fallon County website); a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
