Two of the maps are shown below. There are several zones shown on these maps.
- Zone AE - base floodplain where base flood elevations are provided
- Shaded Zone X - usually the area between the limits of the 100-year and the 500-year floods
- Unshaded Zone X - area outside the 500-year flood
In the first map, Big Goose Creek is shown on the left and Little Goose Creek is shown on the right. Note that the flow is from the bottom of the page to the top of the page. Big Goose and Little Goose combine to form Goose Creek.
