Cuming County, NE zoning map, flood zone and property lines by address
Free, no account. Or open the Nebraska map and tap a lot.
Towns in Cuming County: West Point, Wisner.
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 29 FIRM panels covering Cuming 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 Cuming 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 NebraskaMAP statewide parcel layer (from each county assessor), so a Cuming lot shows the same lines the county assessor draws. Cuming County covers about 365,114 acres of land and 2,662 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Cuming County assessor keeps the parcel record (Cuming County website); a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
Zoning
Cuming County zones its unincorporated land, and West Point, Wisner each zone the land inside their limits. ParcelSheet shows the use the county assessor lists for the lot and links the county zoning office for the district, the uses it allows and the lot size it needs.
ADU and guest houses
Under Nebraska's county zoning law (Neb. Rev. Stat. 23-114) and each city's zoning powers, local governments can allow an accessory dwelling unit on a lot with a house. Whether a Cuming lot can add one depends on its district; the county zoning office has the rule. ParcelSheet shows the mapped lot size and the ground's slope, the first two things the question turns on.
Septic and soil
ParcelSheet reads the USDA soil survey at the lot: the soil's name, its septic absorption rating and whether it is prime farmland. Cuming County is soil survey area NE039, Cuming County, Nebraska, last updated September 2026, on Web Soil Survey.
