Floodplain Mapping Projects

FEMA has available several services for different phases of a mapping project. Preliminary, Pending and Effective products can be downloaded on from the Map Service Center. FEMA also maintains several map viewers:

National Flood Hazard Layer - displays the effective digital data
> Flood Map Changes Viewer  - includes the Preliminary and Pending digital map data, with a Changes Since Last FIRM layer that compares the Preliminary/Pending data with the effective data


KDA maintains project-specific map viewers for active projects that are based on the same digital data. The web links are included on the project pages below. 

Upper Cottonwood (Marion County)


Marion County was selected for a countywide update in 2019. The project will produce updated flood studies throughout the county and incorporate the existing effective flood study in the City of Marion that was produced for the levee accreditation efforts. The project was kicked off in January 2019, and a Flood Risk Review meeting was held on November 17, 2020. The public Open House was held June 15, 2021.
