Re: [Texascavers] RE: Sea Level Rise--the Map
You can typically find flood plain information with regards to a specific piece of property on Property Appraisal District maps. Dallas County Appraisal District has online maps that are quite useful for checking these things. Seems like San Antonio has a similar siteas does the Austin area. The appraisal district of course get their information from other sourcesbut I have found that appraisal districts are very good at pointing out unbuild-able land...as it is in their best interest to know where and what is build-able. In addition, many regions or cities maintain zoning and planning maps that are on line. These maps will usually have topography and flood limits. I know the North Texas Council of Governments keeps that information for much of the Metroplex. I have found that some cities keep fairly detailed GIS type maps in a pdf format on line...and this is also a good source for flood plain and other encroachment ( ie easements, ROWs, etc.. ) information on property.

Re: [Texascavers] RE: Sea Level Rise--the MapIf you live in Travis county you can go to the City of Austin website, under Development, GIS viewer and it has plat maps that you can add property lines, utilities, zoning, fema flood plains, and lots more on.

Re: [Texascavers] RE: Sea Level Rise--the Map
It seems a quick Google of FEMA flood maps and sea level only takes you to insurance company sites. Also, if you read the about on the sea level map, it states there are several inaccuracies.

Re: [Texascavers] RE: Sea Level Rise--the Map
This is a very cool map. The main differences I saw relative to where I live and have lived: Even my old neighborhood in NW Portland wouldn't be that much affected, definitely Medford (OR)and Ely (NV) would see no effect, but Houston would be a lot closer to the beach--you'd just have to be sure and not get hung up on NASA structures.
