Howard County, Maryland floodplains

The Q3 Flood Data are derived from the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to the earth's surface using the geographic projection and the decimal degree coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of Q3 Flood Data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:24000. This metadata makes a reference to 'Q3 Flood Data Specifications.' This is available from FEMA at ftp://ftp.fema.gov/mscdata/q3spec.txt
