www.maptech.com also has USGS topo maps available from their map server under the online maps link. Years ago I worked with a Lake Management group and we used them to determine flood plane and watershed areas.

Most topo maps will have some indication of height above sea level (MLW?). An easy way to look at US topo maps is to use: http://terraserver-usa.com/ Get to your area of interest and make sure you have the "topo" tab selected at the top. ================ Jeffrey Siegel M/V aCappella DeFever 53PH W1ACA/WDB4350 Castine, Maine _______________________________________________ http://lists.samurai.com/mailman/listinfo/trawlers-and-trawlering To unsubscribe send email to trawlers-and-trawlering-request@lists.samurai.com with the word UNSUBSCRIBE and nothing else in the subject or body of the message.

If you are really curious, get an engineer to produce an "elevation certificate" for you. I had one done on a flood zone property I own in Washington NC and his document cut my insurance in half because it said I was 10 feet over the 100 year flood level. Cost was $147. Regards....
