You could probably glean enough information from the USDA site to get a general idea but have you considered an elevated structure? You can get the home above flood level and as long as your foundation budget is flexible it won't really matter where you put the house. This is ideal because you can get the house exactly where you want it.

I have considered pier and beam and depending on cost that's probably the way I'll go. I'm trying to stay focused on the land side until acquisition though just because I don't want to get overwhelmed with the process. I'm trying to evaluate the property in a way that's mindful of my overall budget, but I don't know too much about this stuff.

Thanks for the tip re: USDA. Where should I look on there?
