These maps are very inaccurate. First of all, it took me to the wrong map when I typed in my address. I think they can't differentiate between a street and a road by the same name in a city even though I specifically said St in the address. When I did find my area they showed blocks of streets that don't exist and didn't show blocks or streets that have been there for years and years. They also showed a misnamed street. Are you sure these are the new maps?

I know some of the FIRMs were updated recently. Accuracy was never a strong suit for the Gov.
