Maps and Surveys E. Flood Insurance The National Flood Insurance Program is a Federal ~rogram th",t enables property owners to buy flood insurance at a reasonable, subsidized cost. In return, communities are required to carry out floodplain management meaSures to protect lives and new construction from future flooding. Flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program is available to all residents of Otero County under the Emergency Phase of the program and to residents of Manzanola and Rocky Ford under the Regular Phase of the program.

Mapping at a scale of 1"..200' wtth 2 foot contour intervals was prepared by Bell Mspping Co. of Denver, (Reference 1) from a ground control survey performed by Otero County. The ground control survey was performed to 3rd order accuracy standards or better as defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Federal Geodetic Control Committee. Mll.pping in this study complies with the "United States National Map Accuracy Standat'ds' with field checks. Cross sections for the study were obtatned by photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs taken On March 18, 1976 and by field survey methods. These cross sections, whose alignments are shown on the mapping, were used in the hydraulic analysis to determtne the water surface elevations shown in this report. All bridges and other signUicant structures were field surveyed by MSM Consultants, Inc. Additional tnformatton concerntng these maps ...nd surveys, can be obtained from the Otero County Engineer or the Colorado Water Conservation Board.
