Towns in Haakon County: Philip.
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 30 FIRM panels covering Haakon County, the newest effective June 2013; 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 Haakon 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 South Dakota county parcel layers (each county publishes its own), so a Haakon lot shows the same lines the county director of equalization draws. Haakon County covers about 1,158,746 acres of land and 10,490 acres of water.
Mapped lines are approximate. The Haakon County director of equalization keeps the parcel record; a licensed surveyor sets the true corners.
