Summary:
The State Board of Equalization and Assessment used these maps indicating flooded areas as reference sources in their inspection
of, and determination of tax abatement or state assistance for, flood-damaged areas resulting from the hurricane. In addition
to noting flooded areas, the maps show land contours, waterways, and a few man-made features such as schools, hospitals, roads,
and railroads. Annotations on the maps indicate specific flooding problems such as "water over railroad bridge."
