Flood zone by address

The official panel and any Letter of Map Amendment are at FEMA's Map Service Center. An elevation certificate for a Big Horn 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 Wyoming statewide parcels (2026 tax year), from county assessors, so a Big Horn lot shows the same lines the county assessor draws. Big Horn County covers about 2,007,653 acres of land and 13,647 acres of water.
