Did you look at the 1991 map?

I just looked again at the portion (covers much of Rock and White Oak creeks) of the '91 map that I had downloaded in February 2008 from FEMA's site and I just compared it to the new map on FEMA's site.

While the new map is more detailed and more helpful (which apparently was the primary goal as noted in the link that you provided), it is identical to the old map in that all of the lake and lakeshore property is colored to reflect Zone A, a Special Flood Hazard Area (i.e. the 100-year flood zone).

I'm not trying to defend FEMA and I certainly have no desire to defend any branch of the current administration. However, I really don't think anything has changed.

By default, lakeshore property will typically be zoned A. That should make sense given that the lake "shore" typically hovers between 490 - 514 ft and the 100-yr mark is designated as 524ft. Some portion of your property is in the flood zone. That portion may simply be limited to a vertical 40ft rock cliff but still...

In my 7/09 post, I spelled out various alternatives to property owners. Note that post was written prior to the new maps but the options are still the same.

Good luck.
