The FEMA maps didn't exist the last time I did this. I would think
it likely that the building and planning commission office for his
area would have the appropriate maps, as establishing that the proposed
house's location is outside of the the 100 year flood plane, is a
necessary check mark in getting a building permit.

I have been informed (in the last 5 minutes) that whether you are in a flood
plain,
these days, are determined almost entirely by the geographic position of your
property on the FEMA flood plain map. (at least as far as lenders and HO
insurance
goes) FEMAs maps may or may not align with USGS maps. They almost certainly do
NOT
align with the county recorder's maps.
If you're in an area where FEMA doesn't issue maps then it's something else,
and USGS
or local maps may determine. But I notice from the FEMA Flood Map server that
they
cover even things up in the mountains (e.g. Alpine county in California)
