FLOOD PLAIN: Flood plains are areas identified as such on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps. Flood plains may be either riverine or inland depressional areas.

Inland depressional flood plains are flood plains not associated with a stream system, into which surrounding lands drain, causing periodic inundation by storm waters.
